These functions may also be accessed through the Grouping menu.
The Grouping Menu
EPICenter provides a set of menus at the top of the main applet frame. Most of these are standard
across all the EPICenter applets, and are described in
“EPICenter Menus” on page 32 . However, the
Grouping Manager provides an additional menu, Grouping , that contains commands unique to the
Grouping Manager. The Grouping menu contains the following items:
Resource Detail Buttons
When you select a device group or a device in the Component Tree, buttons inside the resource detail
panel are enabled as appropriate for the type of resource you selected.
The contents of the resource detail buttons depend on the type of item you have selected in the
Component Tree.
●
If you select the top-level Groups item, the Host, Ports, Users group item, or your own group item,
then the resource detail panel enables the Add button.
●
If you select a specific resource within these groups, the resource detail panel buttons provide the
commands: Add and Remove.
●
If you add a device, all the commands shown in Table 21 are available.
Destroy Deletes a user-defined resource. This completely eliminates the resource from the
EPICenter database, as well as removing it from all groups of which it was a member. This
is not the same as removing a resource from an individual group. You cannot destroy
system-defined resources or individual imported resources. You can only destroy imported
resources by destroying the entire Import Source group. See
“Deleting Resources—The
Destroy Function” on page 229
Import Imports resources from an external source such as an NT Domain Controller, LDAP
database, or a specially formatted text file. See
“Importing Resources” on page 242 .
Find Finds a resource based on a set of search criteria that can include a resource name,
description, type, source, or attribute value. See
“Searching for a Resource” on page 238 .
