1.6 Event Messages

PlateSpin Transformation Manager publishes workload workflow state change messages for its registered listeners. Each PlateSpin Migrate Connector instance registers with its assigned Transformation Manager server or project and listens for events and performs the appropriate actions.

In a PlateSpin Migration Factory environment, each PlateSpin Migrate server publishes workload migration state change messages for its registered listeners. Each PlateSpin Migrate Connector instance registers with its assigned Migrate servers, then listens for messages and delivers them to the appropriate project and workload in Transformation Manager.

PlateSpin uses RabbitMQ for event messaging. The event message queues are pre-configured on the PTM Server and the PlateSpin Migrate Server. The messaging function starts, stops, and restarts automatically with its parent PTM service or Migrate service, respectively.

NOTE:Do not modify the PlateSpin default settings for the RabbitMQ message service.

The PlateSpin Migrate message queues are inactive unless you open the required STOMP port on the Migrate Server. When the port is open, one or more PlateSpin Migrate Connector instances can register as subscribers for the event messages.
