Step 10: Assign a Group Field Number to Each Field
not work. (The group field number is an internal value used by the program to keep track
of the number of fields.)
Note that the group field number is distinct from the field number (for example, 1 in
FIELD-1-NUMBER) and the event number.
When you follow these steps in designing your event messages, you create the
subsystem portion of the ACF. The ACF is used as input for EMS FastStart (see
Section 4, Preparing the Application Configuration File
and Section 6, Building Your
Application for Event Generation for detailed information about the ACF).
Below are examples of group field numbers (bold type).
