Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

After you define such a group, you can handle the devices as a group in an argument of the GROUP parameter with the CREATE, ACTIVATE, CONFIG, LINK, QUERY SNAPSHOT, TERMINATE, and UNLINK commands. The GROUP parameter allows you to specify multiple groups at once.

When TimeFinder encounters the GROUP parameter, it retrieves the definition for the group from the group library, along with the statements and parameters it contains. TimeFinder checks the status of the group to ensure that the operation is appropriate for the group at that time. TimeFinder then performs the requested operation on all appropriate devices in the group.
