Note:
Situations is only in the menu
of Navigator items that have managed systems assigned. In the Navigator
Physical view, managed systems are preassigned to every item except
those at the operating platform level (such as Linux Systems) and
cannot be changed. In the Navigator Logical and custom views, you
can assign managed systems when creating a Navigator item or editing
its properties.

Note: If you are forwarding
events to an event integration facility such as the Tivoli Enterprise
Console Server, when an active situation is deleted, the Stop and
Delete events that are sent to the event server use the situation
short name and not the long name. This is also true for any associated
messages that are sent to the message log view.
