Finally I get it. It was my fault. I forgot to define the destiny for the subscription of the topic.
But I have another question - The events which are produced by the flow are not equal to IBMs common base events. So the CBE-Browser doesn't show them. Is there something available to do this automatically (transformation) or do I have to transform all Messages by my own?

Yes I know - but my PM wasn't for private help - business-related |

The MDB takes the message broker ( proprietary format ) events and does two things to them
- wraps them in a default CBE wrapper
- submits them to CEI
So the CBE events should be visible in your CBE browser. |

Hi kimbert,
Maybe I should have asked this by starting another post, but since we are on the topic of CEI in Broker...I wanted to know if it was possible OR will be possible in the future to create events on custom topics...
Something like, I am generating 10 events all over the flow,but
--> only 3 are of business importance so should be identified by 1 topic (domain/.../FlowName/BIEvent/...)
--> 5 (including the above 3 perhaps) are audit worthy, so (domain/../FlowName/Audit/...)
--> All 10 are logging events, thus(domain/.../FlowName/Logging/...)
Therefore, I was thinking if this was available or in the future the tool will let me make custom topics too...what do you think ?
And sorry was hijacking the topic 
Regards. |

Hm... I have two MDBs
1.one is provided by the supportpac (IA9V) and will collect all events which are generated by the java compute from the supportpac. If I collect the events emitted by the nodes in the flow and passes them to the queue where this MDB is listening then these events aren't shown in the CBE Browser because they don't have the right pattern.
2.another MDB is provided by the monitor sample in the toolkit. How does this MDB know from which topic from which broker it should collect the events? I tried to deploy the EAR of the sample top the AppServ but nothing happens.
Actually I don't have installed the business monitor. I just want to collect the events from the topic and passes them to CEI and show them with the help of CBE-Browser (which is part of the process Server). |

re 1:
So you are taking events generated in the *new* WMB custom format, and sending them to an MDB designed for IA9V. What made you think that this approach would work?
re 2:
Configuration of the MDB is described in the documentation for the monitoring sample. |

elvis: We did wonder about allowing the topic to be configurable, and we decided to keep things simple for this release. If users keep asking for it, that could change.
I know it's a hassle, but the most effective way to ask is by raising a formal requirement. |

| Ok it is working now. But one little problem remains. I cannot use the JMS Topic Connection Factory of the AppServ. It says that the subscription service is not available. Instead I am passing my events from the topic to q queue and afterwords they are collected with the help of a queue connection factory and put into CEI. This is working right now with the little workaround. |

| Is there a way of controlling the infomation which are added by thy MDB? For exmaple - event Name, Priority, Serevity, sumbcomponent, category etc - ATM the MDB writes default values into these fields. Is it possible to define the values for this field right into the flow? As far as I see the events generated by the Broker do not have these fileds. |

No, there is no way to control those fields. The CBE wrapper will always have default values in all of its fields.
There should be sufficient infomation in the WMB event to create your monitor model. However, if you have a real requirement for setting CBE fields then please let us know. |

Is there a way of transaction handling?
eg a flow throws an exception and a rollback of all processed data from the WMB nodes are done - what happens with the events already generated? I think they are still there? Do I have to remove them by some own logic or is there something provided? |

Firstly, we are aware that some customers will want the events linked to the main flow's unit of work (and some customers will not). This is something that we would like to address in a future release or fix pack.
For v6.1.0.3, each event is issued out of syncpoint, and will arrive at the monitoring application even if the flow's unit of work gets rolled back. If you need to detect error situations, you should add events to the failure path of your message flow, and set up your monitoring application to detect and respond to these failure events. |
