  Hi,

  Actually you can add Objects in a DA. Objects' Health is only affected by monitors, not by rules.

  Regards.

  Hi,

  You can add servers, services, components being discovered and monitored on server in Distributed apps. Also particular ports and SQL DB connections to include client perspectives for distributed apps.This is basically Synthetic transactions.

  Check this blog http://blog.xplatxperts.com/xplat-xperts/2009/10/operations-manager-and-the-distributed-application-designer.html

  For the second part, Monitors effect the health state of object. Rules are mainly used for data collection and alerting for specified thresholds.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  I will try to summing the answers and please correct me if I am wrong

  1) This mean that I can not add any rules in the Distributed Application.

  2) An unsealed management pack (with my DA) cannot be referenced to any other unsealed management pack (with the objects that I want to add in my  DA). I will get a error when I try to save the DA.

  3) If point 2 is correct, can I solve this through creating the same monitoring as I have in the management pack MP_1 (for example TCPPort 135 on server srv123) and save it in the same unsealed MP as my DA is saved in MP_2 but configure this second monitor to not send any alerts, only change the Health State. In this way will I only get one alarm from the monitor in the management pack MP_1 and get the indication in my DA from my second monitor (that monitor the same thing) that I have saved in my second management pack MP_2.

  Is this correct?
