4 Forwarding Events to HP OMU

Events generated or updated in Oracle Enterprise Manager are not transferred to OMU unless you create rules to invoke the HP OMU connector. A rule identifies the conditions that must be met before the connector is invoked.

The following sections provide procedures that explain how to create and update rules.

To set events rules:

  1. Log into the Enterprise Manager console with an account that has Super Administrator permissions.

  2. From the Setup menu of the Enterprise Manager console, click Incidents, then Incident Rules.

    1. Click on Create Rule Set to invoke the Create Rule Set page.
