Naming Source or Source Group Records

Use care when naming source and source group records. CA ACF2 for VM considers all E‑SGP record names source group names. It also considers all entries in an E‑SGP record as individual sources. The exception is an entry in an E‑SGP record that is also the name of another E‑SGP record. In this case,
CA ACF2 for VM considers the entry a group name.

For example, suppose you create an E‑SGP record named ACCT with the following entries: AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, and ZZZ. CA ACF2 for VM considers each of the entries an individual source. Later you create another E‑SGP record named ZZZ with the following entries: MMM, LLL, YYY, and XXX. CA ACF2 for VM considers ZZZ to be the name of a source group. This means that all the entries in ZZZ will become part of the ACCT group. The ACCT group now includes sources MMM, LLL, YYY and XXX, but ZZZ is no longer considered as an input source.
