Event Services Support

Edit online

IBM® Connect:Direct® Event Services Support (ESS) implements an asynchronous, event-generation facility in IBM Connect:Direct. ESS is designed for use by external management and automated operations applications that require real-time notification of IBM Connect:Direct activities. ESS supports a publish or subscribe protocol with optional guaranteed event delivery and automated recovery.

Customer applications register interest in receiving event data, and specify the types of event data the application receives through the new event services commands. ESS supports a user exit point and an optional API for interface communication with user-written CICS automation applications.
