In previous chapters, we looked at the various modeling paradigms that are part of OEM 11gR1. Similar to the group targets, systems modeling is an important paradigm in visualizing and representing a logical collection of related targets.Chapter 2 provided a brief introduction of the concept of modeling related targets into a system target within OEM Grid Control. To briefly recap:
System target type—like a group—is an aggregate target type, that is, system targets consist of other individual targets.
A system target is usually a collection of individual targets of different types, that is, system targets are heterogeneous collections of related targets.
This aggregation of related targets into a single system target helps in viewing a set of disparate targets that collaborate with each other to achieve a business function or are part of the same administrative context, such as a physical location.
In addition, we also introduced some of the navigational...
