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. Read the full article by Antony Reynolds.
