4 Creating Service Manager Tickets

You can create tickets automatically or manually. The following sections explain how to create both types:

  2. Click Create Rule Set.

    The Create Rule Set page appears.

  3. Provide a Name and Description.

  4. Click the Rules tab.

    • For events —

      Click Create and select Incoming events or updates to events as a type of rule to create from the pop-up window, then click Continue.

      The Create New Rule wizard appears. Follow the steps to create a rule. (Refer to the "Configuring Incident Rule" section in the Oracle Enterprise Manger Advanced Configuration Guide.)
