Updating groups

To modify the group name, group type, or average response time threshold for the group as a whole, select the Update Group option (D) on the Groups path or enter fast path G.D from any panel.

The Update Group panel, which is used for updating group attributes, is displayed in the following figure:

Follow the instructions on this panel to modify the GRPS UPD statement. Enter the group number, the group name (optional), the type of elements contained in the group, and the average group response time for all elements within the group. Average response time refers to CICS® response time.

For example, to change the average CICS response time for transaction group 30 to 2.1 seconds, the GRPS statement looks like the following statement:

GRPS UPD,GROUP=30,AVERAGE=2.1  

If you are changing the group type, you must first delete all elements in that group. To do so, select the Clear Group option (G) on the Groups path.
