Configuring Sybase CEP Engine Plug-Ins

You can expand the functionality of Sybase CEP Server with one or more plugins. A plugin is an event handler.

When a particular event occurs, Sybase CEP Server invokes the plugin, which executes an action or a series of actions depending on the program invoked by the plugin. For a discussion of Sybase CEP Server events, see Sybase CEP Server Events.

The c8-server.conf Sybase CEP Server configuration file should include a separate configuration subsection for every instance of every plugin Sybase CEP Server should invoke. The corresponding plugin configuration subsection should be included under the "SybaseC8/Server/Manager/Plugins" section of the c8-server.conf file. The "Manager" section already includes a sample "Plugin" subsection. This example section can be customized to create a section for your actual plugin. New sections can also be added if you are configuring additional plugins.

This section describes how to configure:
