Fields

Table 3. Fields in EPADAPT views
Field	Attribute name	Description
Adapter type	ADAPTERTYPE	Indicates the type of the EPADAPTER. Values are: CUSTOM A user-written event processing adapter that emits events in any format that you require to any destination. HTTP The IBM supplied HTTP event processing adapter that emits events to an HTTP server for consumption by products such as IBM Operational Decision Manager and IBM Business Monitor. TDQUEUE The IBM supplied TDQ event processing adapter that emits events to a named CICS TD queue. TRANSTART The IBM supplied Transaction Start event processing adapter that emits events to a named CICS transaction. TSQUEUE The IBM supplied TSQ event processing adapter that emits events to a named CICS TS queue. IBM MQ The IBM supplied IBM MQ event processing adapter that emits events to an IBM MQ Queue for consumption by products such as IBM Operational Decision Manager and IBM Business Monitor.
Authority	AUTHORITY	Indicates the Authority of the event processing adapter. Values are: CONTEXT The event processing adapter runs using the user ID of the task that caused the event to be captured. This is always the case when EMITMODE is SYNCHRONOUS or when 'Use Context User ID' is specified for the event processing adapter. REGION The event processing adapter runs using the CICS region user ID. USERID The event processing adapter is attached using the identifier specified in the event processing adapter 'User ID' and returned in the AUTHUSERID attribute. DEFAULT The EP adapter runs using the CICS default user ID.
Authority user ID	AUTHUSERID	The 8-character user identifier to be used to start the event processing adapter transaction. This attribute is only set if AUTHORITY is USERID.
Bundle name	BUNDLE	Name of the bundle from which the event processing adapter is installed.
Last modification agent	CHANGEAGENT	The change agent identifier that made the last modification. CSDAPI - The resource was last changed by a CEDA transaction, by the programmable interface to DFHEDAP or by an EXEC CICS CSD command. CSDBATCH - The resource was last changed by a DFHCSDUP job. DREPAPI - The resource was last changed by a CICSPlex SM BAS API command. DREPBATCH - The resource was last changed by a CICSPlex SM utility. CREATESPI - The resource was installed by an EXEC CICS CREATE command. NOTAPPLIC - This field is not applicable for this resource. OVERRIDE - Resource was last changed by resource overrides.
Last modification agent release	CHANGEAGREL	The CICS release level of the agent that made the last modification to the resource definition.
Last modification time	CHANGETIME	The local date and time when the definition was last changed.
Last modification user ID	CHANGEUSRID	The user ID that made the last modification to the resource definition.
Event processing adapter configuration data	CONFIGDATA1	A 64-character data area containing the primary configuration data item for the event processing adapter. If the primary configuration data item is less than 64 bytes, the field is padded with blanks. The data item returned is dependent upon ADAPTERTYPE, as follows: CUSTOM The first 64 bytes of custom event processing adapter configuration data. HTTP The 8-character name of the URIMAP definition to be used by an HTTP event processing adapter to locate the HTTP server. TDQ The 4-character name of the transient data queue for the event emitted by a TDQ event processing adapter. TRANSTART The 4-character name of the event consumer transaction that is started by a Transaction Start event processing adapter. TSQ The 16-character name of the temporary storage queue for the event emitted by a TSQ event processing adapter. IBM MQ The 48-character name of the IBM MQ queue for event messages emitted by this IBM MQ event processing adapter. This data is in the code page defined by the LOCALCCSID system initialization parameter.
Event format	DATAFORMAT	The format of events emitted by this event processing adapter. Values are: USER The format is user-defined. CBER Common Base Event REST format for the IBM Business Monitor REST HTTP server. CBE Common Base Event format for consumption by products such as IBM Business Monitor. CCE CICS Container Event format. CFE CICS Flattened Event format. DSIE Decision Server Insights Event format. WBE WebSphere Business Events XML format.
Source of the resource definition	DEFINESOURCE	The source of the definition, depending on which agent made the last change.
Creation time	DEFINETIME	The local date and time when the resource definition record was created on DFHCSD or EYUDREP.
Emission mode	EMITMODE	The event emission mode of this event processing adapter. Values are: ASYNCHRONOUS Event emission is asynchronous of the capturing transaction. The unit of work for the capturing transaction might complete successfully even when the event is not emitted. SYNCHRONOUS Event emission is synchronous with the capturing transaction. The unit of work for the capturing transaction does not complete successfully when the event is not emitted.
Enabled status	ENABLESTATUS	Indicates whether the event processong adapter is enabled or not. Values are: DISABLED The event binding is not enabled. ENABLED The event binding is enabled.
Installation agent	INSTALLAGENT	The install agent identifier that made the installation. BUNDLE - The resource was installed by a bundle deployment.
Installation time	INSTALLTIME	The local date and time when the definition was installed.
Installation user ID	INSTALLUSRID	The user ID that installed the resource definition.
Invoke type	INVOKETYPE	Indicates how the event processing adapter is invoked. Values are: ATTACH The event processing adapter is attached as a separate task. LINK The event processing adapter program is linked to.
Name	NAME	Specifies the name of this event processing adapter. The name can be up to 32 characters in length.
Priority	PRIORITY	Indicates the dispatching priority of event emission for this event processing adapter. This attribute is ignored when EMITMODE is SYNCHRONOUS. Values are: HIGH Events emitted for this event processing adapter are high priority. NORMAL Events emitted for this event processing adapter are normal priority.
Program	PROGRAM	The 8-character name of the event processing adapter program. If the ADAPTERTYPE is CUSTOM, this attribute is only applicable if INVOKETYPE is LINK.
Number of events emitted	PUTEVENTS	The number of events that have been emitted by this event processing Adapter.
Transaction	TRANSACTION	The 4-character name of the transaction definition that is used if the event processing adapter transaction is attached. The TRANSACTION attributes is only applicable if INVOKETYPE is ATTACH.
Transactionality	TRANSMODE	Indicates the event transactionality attribute of this event processing adapter. Values are: NONTRANS Events are not transactional. Events can be emitted regardless of whether the unit of work for the capturing transaction completes successfully. TRANS Events are transactional. Events can be emitted only when the unit of work for the capturing transaction completes successfully.
