Group
Machine set
Channel
Transaction
Activation key
We describe each of these concepts in some detail in the ZENworks Linux 
management context. Some of these same terms exist as a concept in the 
satellite server as well (see  Concepts  on page 166), but might have a slightly 
different meaning.
Machine
Machine is the term used for a client system. The ZENworks server collects a lot 
of information about the system through the rcd daemon. This information can be 
used to search machines, but also to create sets to perform transactions on.
Group
A group of machines is a collection of machines that can share certain 
properties, like administrators or channels. The group is used to segment an 
enterprise into smaller entities, for example, to limit the scope of administrators.
Machine set
The machine set is like a group. Only one set exists and it is populated from all 
machines by hand or by a search on properties of the machines. The machine 
set can contain all machines with a certain graphics card, or all machines 
needing a specific update and not having installed it yet. The set is a very 
powerful mechanism to perform a change across the enterprise.
Channel
A channel is a collection of RPM packages or package sets for a specific 
distribution and/or architecture. The package set is a collection of packages that 
is handled by ZENworks as a single package. It can have a version and 
dependencies.
Transaction
Transactions are generally updates that can be performed on machines, groups, 
or the machine set. The transactions can be scheduled. A new feature in 
ZENworks 6.5, for example, is the ability to do a  dry run  of a transaction on the 
server to decrease the load on client machines.
