Use this page to configure the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) event and messaging infrastructure databases, and select whether to enable the CEI service when the server is started.
By default, new servers and clusters in deployment manager and custom (managed node) profiles do not have CEI support configured. You may already have configured this service if you specified CEI support as part of a stand-alone server profile.
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 if you are using a deployment manager or custom (managed node) profile. If you have configured the CEI as part of a stand-alone server profile, this check box is already selected.
Specifies the database you will use to store events emitted by the CEI service on your server. You will initially see the default properties for the CEI event 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 event 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 event database. |
Test Connection | Verifies that the database specifications you entered are valid for connecting to the CEI event database. |
Property | Value |
---|---|
Database Name | Name of the database you are using for storing CEI-emitted events. |
Schema | Not supported for the CEI event database. The CEI server does not support dynamic database schemas for event databases on distributed platforms. In order to support several CEI server configurations, you need to configure a different event database for each additional CEI server. Alternatively, you can to set up different event database users for each CEI server configuration for databases that map user ids to schemas. |
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. If the CEI has not been configured, you must select the database vendor. Once you configure the CEI, you cannot edit the provider field. |
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.

|
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.
