As discussed in Chapter 4, OEM Grid Control provides command-line tools to create, modify, and remove the targets. The most common command line tool available for target-related configuration is emcli.

emcli set_metric_promotion -name=<ServiceName> -type=<ServiceType> -category=<PromotedMetricCategory> -basedOn=system -aggFunction=<Function> -promotedMetricKey=<MetricName> -depTargetType=<TargetType> -column=<MetricColumn> -metricName...
