N

The name of the configuration section that contains details of an Answer Server group. List one parameter for each group. The parameter name N must order consecutively from zero.

You can use system groups to allow you to send the Ask action to a custom group of your systems with a single system name (by specifying the group name in the SystemNames parameter for the Ask action). For example, you might create a group based on language or system type.

System groups might be useful if you have a custom user interface to ask questions, and your systems might change regularly. In this case you can use a static set of groups and change the Answer Server configuration to update the systems, rather than changing the user interface.

For each group that you specify in the [AnswerSystemGroups] section, you must create a [MyGroup] configuration section, in which you list the systems that the group contains. See MyGroup Configuration Parameters.

When you include one or more groups in SystemNames, Answer Server requests answers from your groups in the order that you specify them in SystemNames, and then requests answers from each system in the group in the order that you configure them in the group configuration. When a particular system exists in more than one group, Answer Server queries it only once.
