Configuring Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus triggers

Creating and editing trigger groups
When creating a trigger, you are required to assign it to a trigger group. You can create trigger groups before you create your triggers (as a separate action), or while you are creating your triggers. This task describes how to create a trigger group in a separate action.

Creating and editing database triggers
A database trigger fires when a triggering database modification occurs. For example, you can create a trigger to perform an action each time an insert takes place on the alerts.status table.

Creating and editing signal triggers
Signal triggers fire when a system or user-defined signal is raised. System signals are raised spontaneously by the ObjectServer when it detects changes to the system. User-defined signals are explicitly created, raised, and dropped.

Creating and editing temporal triggers
Temporal triggers fire repeatedly based on a specified frequency.

Using an external editor to create and edit triggers
From Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator, you can configure an external text editor and then use it to create or edit triggers.

Deleting trigger groups
You cannot delete a trigger group that contains triggers.
