I want to notify the administrator when any of the SOA composite instance gets faulted but I am not able to undestand in my incident rule what type of event should be used,in-short I am not able to understand how can I create a rule for eveluating SOA composite faulted instances.
I am posting this query third time here. Please suggest me a solution or is this a limitation of OEM 12c Cloud Control ?

Creating Incident rules is a very simple process as long as you know what event you wanna create your rule one. In your case specifically, its even more simple since you already know your target type and metric name.
Steps:
1) Create a rule set.
2) On the same page hit "Targets" tab and select "All target types" and select "SOA Composite" from the target type list.
3) Now hit "Rules" tab and then hot "Create" and then select first radio button - "Incoming events" since you wanna wrap SOA composite fault metric alert event into a rule.
4) Now select "Type" and select "Metric Alert"
5) Now since you are interested in a "specific event" - SOA composite fault metric alert event, select that radio button and hit "Add"
6) From the "Target Type" dropdown, select "SOA Composite" target type and type "%Fault%" in the Metric name textbox and hit Search.
7) Select you Metric name and select you severity as you wish.
8) Add Actions - create notification, emails etc. (Refer docs to understand how best you can use these options as needed)
9) Save your rule and save your Rule set.
You have a rule (Make sure its enabled) that will execute your specified actions when any SOA Composite will breach your the selected metric (Fault metric in your case)
