SCOM 2007 R2 Subscriptions based on custom fields as criteria

There's a known bug of SCOM 2007 R2, when you're trying to create a subscription based on the value in any Custom field of alert.






This subscription won't work. Because when you save it, it is being saved as:

<ValueExpression>
<Property>Custom2</Property>
</ValueExpression>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpression>
<Value>Critical Alert</Value> 

 in Notifications Internal Library management pack.

The solution is to export, update and import this management pack again as I did it in my previous post.

You should replace Custom2 to CustomField2 (in my example) and increase the version of management pack:

<Version>6.1.7221.1</Version>

...

<ValueExpression>
<Property>CustomField2</Property>
</ValueExpression>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpression>
<Value>Critical Alert</Value> 


Notice that if you do any change in this subscription in future, you have to do the same operation, because it always been saved in wrong way :)
