Novell Support Advisor Administration Guide
Groups
The "Groups" section is used to run an analysis on many connections of the same type at once. To be
able to use the Groups functionality, you must be logged into the local database.
First create the desired new group of the connection type (GroupWise, Linux, etc..). A filtered list of
your connections of the type that can be members of your group will be displayed. Select which
connections you would like to be part of the group.le to use the "Groups" functionality you need to
be logged into the local database.
After the group is created and populated, verify that your group will run correctly. By selecting the
"verify connections" button, Support Advisor will test the members of the group to see if they can be
analyzed. Verified connections will be identified with a green check, and unverified connections
will display a red exclamation.
If a single server within a group has incorrect credential for connecting, double-click on the server.
A new window will open, allowing you to modify the connection credentials. After the
modifications are complete, the group verify can be performed again.
An analysis can still be performed even if all of the servers within the group have not been verified.
However, those servers that failed verification will not be included in the group analysis. Likewise,
if one of the servers fails or is cancelled during the group analysis, that server will also be omitted.
