2. Ensure that you have administrator privileges to create event rules for job status change events.

3. Log into Enterprise Manager as an administrator.

4. From the Setup menu, select Incidents and then Incident Rules. The Incident Rules Page appears.

5. In the Incident Rules page, click Create Rule Set to create rule sets for incidents.

6. Specify the Name, Description, and select Enabled to enable the rule set. Select Type as Enterprise if you want to set the rule for all Enterprise Manager users or Private if you want to set the rule for a specific user only. Select Applies to Job.

   
   

   

   
   

   In the Job tab, click Add to add jobs for which you want to create event rules.

7. In the Add Jobs dialog box, if you select the job By Pattern, provide Job name like and select the Job Type. Specify Job owner like. For the Specific jobs choice, select the job. Click OK.

8. In the Rules tab, click Create.

   In the Select Type of Rule to Create dialog box that appears, you can select from the following choices according to the rule set you want to create:

   • Incoming events and updates to events to receive notification or create incidents for job rules. If you are operating on events (for example, if you want to create incidents for incoming events, such as job failed, or notify someone), choose this option.

   • Newly created incidents or updates to incidents receive notifications or create rules for incidents even though the events for which incidents are generated do not have associated rules. If you are operating on incidents already created or newly created (for example, you want to direct all incidents related to a group, say foo, to a particular user or escalate all incidents open for more than 3 days), choose this option.

   • Newly created problems or updates to problems to receive notifications or create rules for problems even though the incidents for which problems are generated do not have associated rules. This option does not apply for jobs.

9. Select Incoming events and updates to events, and in the Create New Rule: Select Events page, do the following:

   1. Select By Type to Job Status Change. Select All events of type Job Status Change if you want to take an action for all job state change events for the selected jobs. Select Specific events of type Job Status Change if you only want to act on specific job states. If you have selected Specific events of type Job Status Change, select Job Status for events for which you want to create the rule.

   2. Set the other criteria for which you want to set the rule as displayed in the graphic below.
