Adds a defined set of systems to a specified
static group or removes a defined set of systems from the
specified static group. Use this event action to initialize a set
of systems to
process. Then the processing is triggered by an event that you specify
in your event filter.
- Requirements
- Both the source and target groups must be static groups.
- Result
- The group member that generated the event is added to the specified
static group or removed from a specified static group, as applicable.
- Example
- Use this action to track systems that have been
processed. When the specified event is received, this event action
moves a defined set of systems to a static
group. Then, as each system is processed,
the system is
removed from the static group using the Static group: add or remove the event-generating system event
action.
For example, create a static group that contains
all the systems that require updating. After each system is updated,
an event is generated. That event can trigger this event action to
remove the updated system from the static group. When there are no
more systems in the static group, you know all systems have been updated.
Tip: You can use event-data-substitution
variables for the source or target group names. Doing so lets you
dynamically set the source or target group to the static group that
contains the system that generated the event. For more information,
see
"Event-data-substitution variables."
