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.

1. From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the Automation menu button.
2. Click Trigger Groups. The Trigger Groups pane opens.
3. To add a trigger group, click Add Trigger Group in the toolbar. The Trigger Group Details window opens.
4. To edit a trigger group, select the trigger group to edit and then click Edit Trigger Group in the toolbar. The Trigger Group Details window opens.
5. Complete the fields as follows:

   Group Name

   Type a unique name for the trigger group. If you are editing a trigger group, you cannot change the name.

   Tip: When creating ObjectServer objects, their names must begin with an uppercase or lowercase letter, followed by uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, or underscore (_) characters, up to 40 characters in length. User, group, and role names can be any text string up to 64 characters in length and can include spaces. Names of ObjectServer objects are case-sensitive.

   Enabled

   Select this check box to activate the trigger group.

   Clear this check box to create the trigger group without activating it at the present time, or to make the trigger group unavailable. When a trigger group is unavailable, all the triggers in the group are also unavailable for use. You can also make individual triggers available or unavailable while creating or editing them.

6. Save or cancel your changes as follows:

   OK

   Click this button to save the trigger group details and close the window. New trigger groups are added to the Trigger Groups pane.

   Cancel

   Click this button to close the window without saving your changes.
