Tables Used by the Group Manager

To keep track of the status of groups and resources, the Group Manager uses four relational tables:

• The group membership table SSM_GROUP_MEMBERS defines groups of resources. You can edit this table using the CA OPS/MVS table editor.
• The status definitions table SSM_GROUP_STDEF defines the statuses groups can have and how those statuses display on Group Manager panels. You can edit this table using the CA OPS/MVS table editor.
• The status selection table SSM_GROUP_STSEL is used to determine the current status of resources in each group. You can edit this table using the CA OPS/MVS table editor.
• The current status table provides the data that is to be displayed by the Group Manager monitor. The Group Manager creates this table at System State Manager startup and updates it for each monitor display. Using the current and desired states of each resource being monitored, the System State Manager assigns a status and priority in this table for each group in which the resource participates. This table is used to determine the display status of each group being monitored.

WARNING! Do not edit the current status table; doing so can seriously disrupt Group Manager and System State Manager operation.
