XCFGROUP=group-name

The XCFGROUP control statement assigns an XCF group to the collector, allowing collectors in the group to pass collection requests to one another. This control statement is required for cross-collector communication.

Add the XCFGROUP control statement to the configuration file together with a name of your choosing. When selecting a name for the XCF group, ensure that the name is unique in the sysplex, between 1 and 8 characters long (A-Z, 0-9, and national characters $, #, and @ are accepted), and avoids names that IBM uses (such as names that begin with A through I, or the character string SYS) and the reserved name UNDESIG.

For example, to add the collector to an XCF group named TXCSYSPL, use XCFGROUP=TXCSYSPL.
