Data group is used in MIMIX on AS/400. It contains all the data which is to be replicated on the target system from the source system.

Data groups are made for replication purposed (as used by MIMIX). They are composed of user-defined objects and libraries so that the same would replicate on the target machine from source. There can be just one or multiple DG.

For example, if you dont want to replicate certain library on the target machine for some time, in MIMIX, you just go to MIMIX/MIMIX – Work with Data Group and use option 10 to END specific data group which contain that library or object(s).
