This article explains how to use Smarts dmctl commands to work with Selective Groups in Smarts SAM.

Whenever you create a SelectiveGroup in Smartrs SAM, there is a class created called ICF_GroupSelector that will have the details on the group such as criteria and priority. When you delete the SelectiveGroup, the ICF_GroupSelector is also deleted.

 

The dmctl command syntax to see the existing instances of the ICF_GroupSelector is as follows:

dmctl -s <SAM Server> geti ICF_GroupSelector

The dmctl command syntax to delete a SelectiveGroup and its ICF_GroupSelector is as follows:
 

dmctl -s <SAM Server>  delete ICF_GroupSelector::GroupName
