Earlier this month I was involved in organizing the Monument Family
History Day. It was certainly a complex event, with dozens of
presenters, guides and 100s of visitors. So with that experience of a
complex event under my belt I decided to refresh my acquaintance with
Oracle Event Processing (CEP).
CEP has a developer side based on Eclipse and a runtime environment.
Server install
The server install is very straightforward (documentation). It is recommended to use the JRockit JDK with CEP so the steps to set up a working CEP server environment are:
- Download required software
- JRockit - I used Oracle “JRockit 6 - R28.2.5” which includes “JRockit Mission Control 4.1” and “JRockit Real Time 4.1”.
- Oracle Event Processor - I used “Complex Event Processing Release 11gR1 (11.1.1.6.0)”
- Install JRockit
- Run the JRockit installer, the download is an executable binary that just needs to be marked as executable.
- Install CEP
- Unzip the downloaded file
- Run the CEP installer, the unzipped file is an executable binary that may need to be marked as executable.
- Choose a custom install and add the examples if needed.
- It is not recommended to add the examples to a production environment but they can be helpful in development.
Developer Install
The developer install requires several steps (documentation).
A developer install needs access to the software for the server
install, although JRockit isn’t necessary for development use.
