Collaboration groups

A collaboration group is a set of two or more collaboration objects that are bound to one another.

When you configure a collaboration object's port to receive an incoming business object from another collaboration object or to send an outgoing business object to another collaboration object, the combination of collaboration objects is a collaboration group. Any number of collaboration objects can form a group.

The behavior of collaboration objects that are members of a collaboration group is different from the behavior of those that are not members of a group. When you apply a command such as start, pause, or stop to a collaboration object that is a member of a group, the command affects all members of the group.

All members of a collaboration group must support the same transaction level in order for one member of the group to execute transactionally. If you bind a collaboration object that has transactional level None to a collaboration object that has transaction level Best Effort, both run at level None.
