WebSphere Business Events is IBM's implementation of an event processing engine, based upon Aptsoft's business event processing technology which they acquired in January 2008.[1] The product was released in June 2008.
Event processing software monitors events generated by other systems in the form of small messages and can detect patterns of interest. For example, to prevent fraud, credit card spending patterns can be analysed. Executives can be alerted when share price drops for a period of time. For more details, see complex event processing.
Components
editThe software has components to:
- Configure sources for events (for example via http requests, from databases, or from other software).
- Allow non-IT personnel to define patterns of events and the timings between these to trigger actions. These rules use natural language.
- Allow non-IT personnel to define actions to occur when the defined patterns occur.
- A runtime engine which monitors events from the configured sources, triggering actions when the defined patterns of events are matched.
