While configuring a process definition in process automation I realized there was a feature that allow the configuration of groups. As this is coming from a service definition, what's the purpose of this feature? Is it only for readability, or does it have a functional purpose?

Hi Sebastian,

If you use SRM Solution a sub service will be created for your group and will be included in the Main service of the booking.

This can allow to better monitor SRM Bookings, but has the draw back of putting more load on the system for each SRM Booking.

hi Jorge, thanks for the information. Do you know if something similar occurs in process automation, where a subprocess is generated?

Hi Sebastian,

Node groups in a service definition don't have a functional purpose and is an UI feature..
It is indeed to increase readability. Moreover, you can name and put certain workflows or tasks in a different colour, so it is easier to the user to see what is involved during the process by clicking on a group (bottom left). This feature is introduced with RN 16556 (DataMiner 9.5.6.0).

FYI: to manage such groups, just press right-click in the diagram of a service definition and press "configure groups..."

Hope this helps you further.
