Static group: add or remove the event-generating system

Adds the system that generated the event to a specified static group or removes the system that generated the event from a specified static group, as applicable.

Requirements
Both the source and target groups must be static groups.
Result
The system that generated the event is added to the specified static group or removed from a specified static group, as applicable.
Example
You can use this event action to track systems for which IBM® Systems Director has processed an event. As a system generates the event that you specified, that system is moved to a static group. Then, you can view the members of that static group to see which system has generated the event.

Similarly, as a system generates the event that you specified, that system can be removed from a static group.

Tip: You can use event-data-substitution variables for the target group name. Doing so lets you dynamically set the target group to the static group that contains the system that generated the event. For more information, see "Event-data-substitution variables."
