Use the RANK command to set or view preferred-property-threshold settings 
(objectives). When a ranked property threshold is exceeded, the state of the ranked 
property is assigned an alert state. States in ASAP describe the status of a property 
such as up, down, warning, or critical. ASAP displays ranked alert states in the ASAP 
Client, the EMS subsystem, or both. 
To enable ranked property alerts in ASAP Client, set State Determination to 
UseStateGraphState for each ranked property in the ASAP Client Attribute Property 
sheet. For more information, see "Configuring ASAP" in the ASAP Client help. 
To enable ranked property events in EMS subsystem, issue a SET 
OBJECTIVESEVENT ON command from the ASAP command interpreter before 
starting ASAP Server components. 
The RANK command controls objectives used to produce alerts and to take actions. 
The MONITOR command controls which objects are monitored within ASAP.  
The RANK command is also used to display objective values and actions. 
The GOAL command is a synonym for the RANK command; the two are 
interchangeable. 
entity 
is the name of an ASAP entity as defined in EDL. 
node

domain 
is any form of an ASAP domain name. Domain names can represent physical 
devices ($Data) or abstract representations of applications (Funds\Transfer\Input). 
Some command options support the asterisk wild-card character at the end of the 
domain name.
