The Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) database specifications list the types of supported databases, script locations, profile configuration types, and necessary user ID privileges. You can optionally use the CEI database to store events that are captured when it is monitoring IBM® Business Process Manager.
The CEI database is an internal device and you do not interact directly with it. You must use the supported CEI programming interfaces for all interactions with the CEI database.
When you run the Profile Management Tool, you do not automatically create the CEI database. If you want to store CEI events, you must create the database manually for a stand-alone profile and for each instance of a CEI server in a network deployment environment.
