  a. EXADATA :

  Criteria for this Group
  ====================
     i. Target Type
     ii. Contact
         >>> for example Target Type: Host and Contact: EXADATA (so this is a direct member)
 
  b. The EXADATA Group will have direct and indirect members, some of these indirect members should be related to another team for example (database instances or hosts).

  c. When adding this EXADATA group as a specific target for an incident rule email notifications, the group will be alerted for both direct and indirect members as follows:

       Host=<Host_Target_Name>
