Moving an object between groups


When an object is a member of a group, CSM starts that object (if it is not already UP) on a BBI-SS PAS when the group is active.

Therefore, an object (and its schedule) can be defined once and then if it runs on multiple CSM partners, you can associate the object, using the Member line command with a group on each of the partners. Each object can be a member of up to 20 CSM groups.

You can also define an object that is normally active on only one CSM partner and moveable to another BBI-SS PAS (in cases of emergency backups or if you need more system resources) with the Moveable line command. In this case, the object is defined as a member to one group where you want the object to be normally active and, as moveable to all groups where you would possibly move the object to. Once an object is defined as Moveable to any groups, this object can be a Member of only one group, and can be moveable to 19 groups.

To make an object moveable to another system

  1. Enter the Moveable line command next to the group name to which you want to be able to move the object.This example shows object AAOCSM01 is a member of group KMZ1 but moveable to KMZ2 and KMZ6.

    An object can be made moveable to as many as 20 groups. Once an object is denoted as moveable, it can be the member of only 1 group.

    When an object is made moveable to a group, the object does not automatically start when that group is active until you instruct CSM to move the object to that group’s control.

  2. Press Enter to continue to the next object definition panel, Object Requisites.
