Using Group Manager › Define Groups and Assign Resources to Them

Define Groups and Assign Resources to Them

An individual resource can belong to more than one group, and each group can contain more than one resource. The group membership relational table SSM_GROUP_MEMBERS defines which resources belong to which groups.

The SSM_GROUP_MEMBERS has the following format:

M_TABLE

The name of the table that defines the resource to System State Manager

Type: CHAR(18)

Primary Key: Yes

M_RESOURCE

The name of the resource

Type:CHAR(18)

Primary Key: Yes

M_GROUP

The name of the group to which the resource belongs

Type: CHAR(18)

Primary Key: Yes

The group membership table on a given system is automatically created by Group Manager and initially consists of data extracted from the SSM_MANAGED_TBLS table on that system. Each table in SSM_MANAGED_TBLS is defined as a group, and all resources defined in a table become members of the same group. To edit a group membership table, select the following option from the Group Manager Main Menu (OPSVIEW option 4.11.5) and specify an MSF system ID (defaults to the local system):
