HPCA manages products that may require more than one service package to establish full product installation or operation. You can use Service Groups when a product requires other service packages or has dependencies on other services. This includes MSI-packaged products where:
Service grouping enables multiple services to be grouped by a higher, or master service. This action enables administrators to logically group together similar or related components into one easy to understand and manage collection.
Use the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor to define and then group services and packages to form the master service.
Note: Make sure to target actions, such as notifies or timer updates, to the master service. Any action applied to the master service is applied to all sub-services.
