Enhancements to Corrective Actions
• Corrective actions are one of the most powerful automation tools you can
implement in Enterprise Manager.
• With 13c, an enhancement to support all event types including Compliance
Standard Rule violations, Service Level Agreement (SLA) alerts, and job
status events.
• DevOps has been incorporated into corrective actions, offering the
administrator an easy way to develop, test and release to production where
before there wasn’t one.
• The Cloud Administrator can now respond automatically to to events with
common responses by scripting.

Corrective Actions Are Your Savior

Corrective Actons, Cont.
• Support for all event types.
• Support for compliance rules. This will allow users to associate corrective
actions with various compliance checks.
• Automated invocation using event rules.
• Ability to attach the latest corrective actions automatically.

Save Repository Space with Intelligent Compression
• Having copies of the same incident can allocate unnecessary space in the
repository. With Intelligent Incident Compression, duplicates of the same
incident can be compressed and saved as one.
• There are different criteria to save space the way the Cloud Administrator
requires-
– grouping by targets on the same host.
– targets belonging to the same aggregate target.
– grouping by event category
– grouping events by metric.
– By a window of time.
• Along with Compression, intelligent grouping allows for space savings.
