Groups

Overview

• Using Groups, you can tie a given number of related Transfers together. This enables you to run an entire group of Transfers at once. 
• A Group of Transfers can be run manually (from the Groups tab) or Scheduled to run automatically (from the Schedules tab).
• When running a Group of Transfers, the Transfers will be executed in the order they appear under the Transfers tab (i.e. sorted by Code). This can be used to ensure that Transfers are run in a specific order.
• If a transfer in a Group fails with an error, then the whole Group is aborted (the rest of the Transfers in the Group are not executed). 
• From the List of Groups you have a quick menu that allows you to go to the Transfers tied to that Group, go to Log entries for this Group, go to Runs for this Group, Go to the Schedules for this Group or Delete the Group.
• Also directly from the list of Groups page you can create a new Group by clicking the "new" button. This will create a new Group and open up the "General" section in edit mode for you to fill in the fields (code and description).
• Under each Group you can choose to edit an already existing Group, to go Runs for this Group, go to Logs for this Group, choose Tags if you have any associated to that Group, run all the Transfers in that Group or activate changes for that Group and the entire configuration. Please bare in mind that clicking the "activate changes" button will load the entire configuration, meaning all the Transfers, Groups, Schedules etc. into the current environment you are working on.

Please note that Groups are loosely coupled to Transfers and Schedules, meaning that if you rename a group or delete a group, the corresponding Transfers and Schedules are not modified.
