How You Implement Event Management Rules

Rule sets consist of a number of rules. The rules define how an event is processed and what actions are taken in response to the event.

Use a number of rule sets to organize your rules in logical and manageable groups.

For a rule set to be in an active state, it must be associated with an active system image. However, only one rule set can be associated with an image. If you want to activate more than one rule set, include the other rule sets in the rule set associated with the active image.

Implementing a rule set consists of the following typical stages:

1. Identify the rule sets you want to create.
2. Create the primary rule set to associate with the active image.
3. Add message rules, message group rules, and timers.
4. Add actions that are performed before normal rule processing occurs.
5. Create the other rule sets, and include them in the primary rule set.
6. Associate the rule set with the appropriate image.
