Configuring triggers

You can create and edit triggers from the default Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator windows, or by using an SQL script. You can create an SQL script in an external text editor. There are three types of triggers: database triggers, signal triggers, and temporal triggers.

Database triggers fire when a triggering database incident occurs. Signal triggers fire when a system or user-defined signal is raised. Temporal triggers fire repeatedly, based on a specified frequency.

Every trigger must belong to a trigger group, which is a collection of related triggers. You can use a single action to enable or disable all of the triggers in a trigger group.
