Creating a Master Service for a Service Group

After you make the changes to the edmprof file, you can create a master service instance for a service group.

Use the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor to create a new Application (ZSERVICE) instance for the master service. Next, for each service that is to be a member of the group, make a connection between the member service and the master service. You can add service members to the master service at any time.

The following example describes creating a master service instance called Sales Services which will contain the Amortize and GS-Calc services.

To create a Master Service for a Service Group:

  1. Open the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor and navigate to the PRIMARY.SOFTWARE.ZSERVICE Class.
  2. Expand the class to display the Application (ZSERVICE) instances.
  3. Right-click Application (ZSERVICE) to open shortcut menu.
  4. From this menu, select New Instance from the shortcut menu. The Create Instance dialog box opens.
  5. Enter the name of the new ZSERVICE instance (SALES SERVICES).
  6. Click OK to create the instance. The new instance appears in the Application (ZSERVICE) Class. Now you can add services to the master service.
  7. Right-click SALES SERVICES, and select Show Connections from the shortcut menu. The SOFTWARE.ZSERVICE Connections dialog box opens.
  8. Select the Application (ZSERVICE) Class from the SOFTWARE.ZSERVICE connections dialog box, and click OK. The ZSERVICE Class instances are displayed on the list view of the screen.
  9. Select the services from the right, and drag them to the ZSERVICE.SALES SERVICES instance.
  10. Drop them onto the service when the cursor changes into a paper clip.
  11. Confirm the connection.
  12. Follow the steps that are outlined above to add services, if needed. The master service instance for this service group is now complete.

    Note: The services grouped into a master service will install from top-down according to the order in which they are connected to the master service instance in the database. Member services in a master service group do not honor the settings in ZSVCPRI.

    You can now deploy this master service to the users.
