Sample Alert Purge Processes

7.4.5 Sample Alert Purge Processes

This section includes examples of the Purge Alerts process based on input parameters. These example patterns are also applicable for filtering cases.

Example 1

The user specifies only one rule 'xyz' for purging alerts and assumes it as follows:

<Alert>
………..
<Rule id="xyz">
<IdentifierList>3775,3731,3669,3663</IdentifierList>
<Status>CL</Status>
</Rule>
……..
</Alert>

The utility filters in the existing alerts for IDs 3775,3731,3669,3663 and* status having Closed (CL). Here and* specifies the logical and operation specified by sql. In this case, the alert has closed status among the existing alert IDs of (3775, 3731, 3669, and 3663).

<Alert>
……….
<Rule id="xyz">
<IdentifierList>3775,3731,3669,3663</IdentifierList>
<Status>CL</Status>
<ScenarioIdList>114697002, 114690106</ScenarioIdList>
<JobIds>456789</JobIds>
</Rule>
………..
</Alert>

The utility filters in the existing alerts for IDs 3775,3731,3669,3663 and* having status Closed (CL) and* having Scenario IDs 114697002,114690106 and having Job Id 456789.

Example 2

The user specifies multiple rules for purging:

<Alert>
……….
<Rule id="pqr">
<IdentifierList>3775, 3731,3669,3663</IdentifierList>
<Status>CL</Status>
<JobIds>456789</JobIds>
</Rule>
<Rule id="xyz">
<ScenarioIdList>114697002,114690106</ScenarioIdList>
<CreateDate>
<StartDate>2011-05-25</StartDate>
<EndDate>2011-05-29</EndDate>
</CreateDate>
</Rule>
………..
</Alert>

The utility prepares a query to filter alerts so that rule 'pqr' (fetches alerts as per the single rule described above) or* rule 'xyz' (fetches alerts as per the single rule described above) or*... That is, union of the alerts from all the rules would be filtered.

Here or* specifies the logical or operation specified by sql.
