Add a Resource Group Definition

To add a resource group definition

1. Enter /GADMIN.G at the prompt.

   The Resource Group List appears.

2. Press F4 (Add) to add a group definition.

   The Resource Group Definition panel appears.

   Note: If you change your mind and do not want to add the group, press F12 (Cancel) to cancel the operation any time before Step 6.

3. Complete the Name and Description fields to identify the new group.
4. Select one of the following options to define the group:
   • Select option A to specify an icon panel.

     The Zoom Icon Panel Definition panel appears. Proceed to Step 5a.

   • Select option B to specify a group of resources by class and name.

     The Resource Filter Definition panel appears. Proceed to Step 5b.

   • Select option C to specify a resource group filter.

     The Resource Group Filter Definition panel appears. Proceed to Step 5c.

   Note: Options B and C are related. You can use option B to specify the services and resources in the group directly. If you then select option C, the specification defined by using option B is expanded into a Boolean expression.

5. Depending on the option you select, proceed as follows:
   1. Specify the name of a generated icon panel in the Zoom Icon Panel Name field. You can enter a question mark (?) in the field to access the icon panel prompt list from which you can select the required panel.

      After you specify the name, proceed to Step 6.

   2. Identify the resources by class and name in the ClassDsc and Resource Name fields. You can enter a question mark (?) in the fields to access the resource class and resource name prompt lists from which you can select the required class and name.

      If you want to exclude the resources from remote systems, specify Y (yes) in the Exclude Remote System Resource field. The default is NO.

      After you identify the resources, proceed to Step 6.

   3. Press F10 (EditFltr) to edit the filter. See the online help for a description of the fields.

      Specify the Boolean expression in the Filter Expression window to define the filter.

      Press F3 (OK) to exit the edit mode, then proceed to Step 6.

6. Press F3 (File) to file the new definition when you finish defining the group.
