When combined with the clients network address, it uniquely identifies this mgroup connection. This is not necessarily a small-valued integer., P2=`McastAddr, PD2=`The IP multicast address of the desired multicast group. This is the address that a server must use in a joingroup () system call. Only MGRPBYINETADDR is supported at present., P3=`McastPortal, PD3=`The portal at which server (s) will be listening. All servers in the multicast group must be listening at the same portal., P4=`Subsys, PD4=`The RPC2 subsystem corresponding to this multicast group. Each server in the multicast group must have exported this subsystem., P5=`SecurityLevel, PD5=`same as in @RPC2(Bind)()., P6=`SessionKey, PD6=`Encryption key to be used for all communication on this multicast channel. RPC2 will send this (securely) to each server that is added via a @RPC2(AddToMgrp)() call., P7=`EncryptionType, PD7=`same as in @RPC2(Bind)()., P8=`SideEffectType, PD8=`same as in @RPC2(Bind)()., CC1=`@RPC2(SUCCESS), CCD1=`All went well, CC2=`@RPC2(SEFAIL1), CCD2=`Side effect routines reported failure., CC3=`@RPC2(SEFAIL2), CCD3=`Side effect routines reported failure., CC4=`@RPC2(FAIL), CCD4=`Some other mishap occurred., Text=`Creates a new RPC2 mgroup identifier, unique to a particular <multicastaddr, portal, subsystem> combination, and returns it to the caller. Once the identifier has been assigned, RPC2 mgroup members may be added and deleted via the @RPC2(AddToMgrp) and @RPC2(RemoveFromMgrp) calls. The security level, encryption type and side effect types of each added connection must match the corresponding parameters of this @RPC2(CreateMgrp) call. )

RPC2 contacts the remote site to initialize its mgroup connection information. The security level, encryption type and side effect type of the connection being added must match that specified when Mgroup was defined. )
