We can use the procedure outlined below to clear outstanding warning and critical alerts which are displayed on the EM Grid console home page.

In 10g Enterprise Manager Grid Control, we can create corrective action or ‘fixit’ jobs which can automatically run if say a metric threshold is crossed or a particular event occurs.
