The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

True as far as multiple applications go but your example is flawed.
You have always been able to have multiple applications within the
same job "point" to different records in the same file--even with
OPM. The only requirement is that full opens are used and this is the
default behaviour.
Activation groups can stop commitment control in one application from
interfering with commitment control in another application within the
same job.
Activation groups can stop shared opens in one application from
interfering with shared opens in another application within the same
job.
Activation groups can stop file overrides in one application from
interfering with file overrides in another application within the
same job.
Activation groups can stop static storage in one application from
interfering with static storage in another application within the
same job such as a common service program maintaining state for
multiple applications
None of these application design advantages are available without
activation groups. In the OPM world you would have to use separate
jobs to accomplish the same behaviour.
