Hi
I'm experimenting with Installation Groups and have done the minimum configuration from the SPRO node
I'm trying to define an installation as primary within a group, but only the fields for secondary installations are available for updating within the installation timeslice.
Is there some other configuration I'm missing?
Thanks
Astrid

Astrid:
Check the installation group cookbook
Excerpt: When maintaining utility installations, you will find the Key of Primary Installation, Role of an Installation Within the Installation Group, and Grouping Type fields in the time-dependent data. In
order to create an installation group, you must:
• Enter a grouping type in the historical part of the utility installation that you want to use as the
primary installation.
• Enter an installation role in the historical part of the utility installations that you want to use as
secondary installations. Enter the key of the primary installation in the Primary Installation field.
regards,
bill.

Hi Bill
I've got the cookbook and I can't find anything in it relevant to my issue.
The Group Type field is not enabled and so I can't define the Primary installation.
If I try setting up the 2ndary installation first I get this message
Message no. E9323
Allocation Grouping Type is not defined for Role Role.
If you want to specify an installation as a secondary installation, you must enter a valid combination of:
º Primary installation
º Installation role within an installation group
The combination you have selected is not defined.
Thanks

I was able to create the group using this seqeuence:
After those are done, the changes are saved and the group exists.

I must be missing something as the Group Type is not an editable field within the installation timeslice as shown in the screenshot above.
Thanks

Check your field selection settings for installation in the IMG. Utilities > Master Data > Installation > Define field selection.

I would have replied sooner, but not all of your message made it to the email notification and I didn't realize you had provided the SPRO path and a screenshot.
I find it amusing that the other 3 fields were available but this one wasn't. go figure!
Thanks.
