Creating a group

You can create a group to organize Scheduler tasks and sensors.

You must be connected to the sysadmin database as user informix or another authorized user.

When you create a task or sensor, you can specify a group name from the ph_group table in the tk_group column of the ph_task table.

To create a group:

Use an INSERT statement to add a row into the ph_group table in the sysadmin database. You must include a name for the group for the group_name column and a description of the group for the group_description column. The database server generates an ID for the group in the group_id column.

Example

The following example adds a group named TABLES:

INSERT INTO ph_group 
(
group_name,
group_description
)
VALUES
(
"TABLES",
"Tasks that trim history and results tables."
);
