7.6 Groups
Groups are a development-oriented means of grouping similar items together in the LANSA Repository. They do not have any programming or development impact but are simply a method of associating objects to assist you in managing your development environment.
Groups are similar to the frameworks, although frameworks are a business-oriented grouping of items. You can view a list of objects in the repository using a Group name.
- An object does not have to be associated with a Group when it is created.
- An object may be associated with a Group and with a Framework.
There is no structural relationship between groups and frameworks, i.e. a group is not contained in a framework or owned by a framework. Refer to 7.5 Frameworks.
