Creating a historical configuration group

Organize the historical collections that you have defined into named groups that can be managed collectively.

1. Open the Object group editor from either of these locations:
   • Click Object group editor, then click Historical configurations.
   • If the History Collection Configuration window, is not open, click History Configuration. Click a monitored application, click an undistributed or distributed historical collection definition, then click Group.
2. Click Create a new object group.
3. Type a name for the historical group and, optionally, a description, then click OK. The new historical configuration group is displayed in the Historical configurations branch.
4. In the Members tab, select a historical collection from the list of Available Members and move it to the Assigned Members list.
   You can select multiple collection definitions for an attribute group by holding down Ctrl while clicking; or use Shift+click to select all entries between this and the first selection. Historical collections that are configured for "Managing System (TEMS)" distribution are not displayed in the list.
5. If you have historical configuration groups available and want to assign a group to this one, click the Member of tab, then select a group and move it to the Assigned Members Of list.
   
6. In the Distributions tab, select the managed systems and managed system groups to assign to the historical configuration group. Select a managed system group to see its constituent objects in the Selected Assigned Object Members or Selected Available Object Members list.
   
7. Save your changes and either keep the editor open with Apply or exit with OK.
