Configure ServiceAide (formerly known as CA Cloud Service Management)
CA Spectrum alarms automatically create incident tickets in the ServiceAide (formerly known as CA Cloud Service Management). Operators can also manually create an incident ticket from an alarm in the OneClick Console. When an incident ticket is closed in ServiceAide, the corresponding alarm in CA Spectrum is also cleared if you enabled Polling in the Service Desk Configuration page - Integration Parameters.
In order for this integration to work, you must configure a Web Services user account in ServiceAide.
