Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Use grouping commands to group and manage SnapVX statements in a PDS or PDS/E file.

The grouping commands are used in a life-cycle order with DEFINE GROUP including GLOBAL and LINK commands, followed by an END GROUP command. Then the SnapVX CREATE command with the GROUP keyword is used to initialize the group. After the group is created, snapshots exist on the source devices, then they can be linked, unlinked, and terminated using corresponding GROUP keywords. When the group is no longer needed, the DELETE GROUP command removes the group.

For syntax conventions, see CLI conventions. If the command spans multiple lines, add a hyphen (-) at the end of each command line except the last line.
