Configure the Common Event Infrastructure Server using the administrative console.
Use this panel to enable the Common Event Infrastructure server and to configure the Common Event Infrastructure Bus Member.
By default, new servers and clusters in deployment manager and custom (managed node) profiles and servers in a stand-alone profile do not have CEI support configured.
Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must be logged in as an administrator or a configurator to perform this task. You must also have the proper authority to make any changes to any of the databases.

Specifies whether to enable the CEI service on your server.
By default, this option is cleared.
Specifies the location / destination of the Common Event Infrastructure Bus. The destinations can be the local deployment target or on a remote target. Use the Local and Remote buttons in this panel to indicate the appropriate location.
Bus members are always hosted locally for stand-alone server profiles.
Select this button if the Bus Member will be configured on this server or cluster.
Select this button if the Bus Member will be configured on another server or cluster (not the server or cluster you are currently configuring).
If you select Remote, use the associated drop-down list to specify the remote location you want to use. The drop-down list shows all deployment targets. Alternatively, you can click New to specify a new remote location.
Specifies the database you will use for the messaging infrastructure by the CEI service on your server. You will initially see the default properties for the CEI messaging infrastructure database fields, but you can make changes to the properties by editing the corresponding fields in the table. You can also make changes to these and other database properties by clicking the Edit... button, which will open a separate database configuration panel. When you are finished making changes on that panel, click OK and you will see the updated properties in the CEI messaging infrastructure database fields.
Button | Function |
---|---|
Edit | Opens a new panel which you can use to choose specific values for the data source provider, scope, data source properties, component specific properties, and whether to create tables in the CEI messaging infrastructure database. |

Database Name | Name of the database you are using for CEI messaging infrastructure. |
Schema | Name of the schema you will use with the CEI messaging infrastructure database. |
Create Tables |
Note: You will not be able to create the tables once the CEI
server is configured. After you have initially configured the server,
the tables will have already been created and this choice will be
disabled.
|
User name | User ID required by the database. |
Password | Password for the user ID required by the database. |
Server | Fully qualified IP address or name and, optionally, the port used by the database |
Provider | The database vendor or file store. You must
select a database vendor from the menu if the CEI has not been configured.
Once you configure the CEI, you cannot edit the provider field. Note: The file
store option is only available when installing a stand-alone
server.
