Step 3: In the console tree, select Policy management -> Policy groups -> HP SIM Integration.
a) Right-click and select All Tasks -> Deploy on.
b) Choose the appropriate node. Select OK.

Limitations

In case of HP SIM and HP SE SRM integrated setup, events from HP SE SRM Infrastructure, though the messages may be similar, will not be suppressed in the HP OM Message Browser because of the uniqueness in message key.

In case of HP SIM and HP SE SRM integrated setup, events from HP SE SRM Infrastructure, which are acknowledged on HPOM browser, will get cleared on HP SIM GUI. But the HP SE SRM Infrastructure events that are cleared manually from the HPSIM GUI will not get auto acknowledged on HPOM message browser.
