XCF groups in SYSPLEX

Hello All !
According to some Sysplex documentation, the XCF groups and their members should be define in XCF !
and groups should define in Transport Class for signaling path !!! But I didn't understand how to define groups for exploiters ?
Is there a difference between defining the groups based on exploiters ?
Thanks !!!
Regards

for example : Is there any difference between defining the DB2 groups and CICS groups ???

the process is the same, naturally the properties will be different
An XCF group is a set of related members that a multisystem application defines to XCF. A member is a specific function, or instance, of the application. A member resides on one system and can communicate with other members of the same group across the sysplex.
A transport class is MVS's way of enabling you to associate one or more XCF groups (based on similar signaling requirements) and then assign them signaling resources (signaling paths and message buffers). A transport class allows you to segregate message traffic according to the needs of an application's group, the lengths of its messages, or both.
but You could have found out that Yourself if instead of reading
some Sysplex documentation
You had read the IBM manuals
exploiters is rubbish for USER/CLIENT
generally has a derogatory implication
