IBM Maximo Asset Management v7.6.1 Administrator — Question 2

An analyst is investigating an Offense and has found that the issue is that a firewall appears to be misconfigured and has permitted traffic that should be prevented to pass.
As part of the firewall rule change process, the analyst needs to send the offense details to the firewall team to demonstrate that the firewall permitted traffic that should have been blocked.
How would the analyst send the Offense summary to an email mailbox?

Answer options

• A. Find the CRE Event in the Log Activity tab, open the event detail and select ‘Email linked Offense details’ from the ‘Action’ menu.
• B. Search for the events linked to the Offense in the Log Activity tab; Select all events and copy them using CTRL-C then paste into an email client.
• C. Open the Offense in the Offenses tab, select ‘Email’ from the ‘Action’ menu item and, optionally, add some extra information.
• D. Identify the Offense in the Offense list, right click on the Offense and select ‘Custom Action Script’; ‘Offense Mailer’

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct option is B because it describes the method of selecting linked events and copying them to an email client, which is a straightforward way to share detailed information. Options A and C involve using specific email actions that may not provide the complete context needed, while option D refers to a custom action that may not be necessary for simply sending Offense details.
