Every satellite in the satellite environment must belong to a group. A group is a collection of satellites that share one or more characteristics. The shared characteristics will be things such as the business function of the satellite users, for example, selling life insurance, and the end-user application that is used to support the business function.
A satellite can only be associated with a single application version. However, within a group, not all satellites need to be associated with the same application version. This characteristic allows you to stage the deployment of the application. The different versions of the end-user application are supported by the group batches that are associated with different application versions. For additional information, see Application Versions, Batches, and Scripts.
| Note: | The term group, as used in the satellite environment, is not associated with operating system or security groups. |
