Managing your infrastructure from chip to the business service

Acknowledging HP OM messages when HP SIM events are cleared is accomplished through a
combination of event collection and tasks similar to the event forwarding mechanism. An event
collection selecting the cleared HP SIM events triggers the Event Listener process to cause the HP OM
message to be acknowledged.
