Simplified observer management :- One command to manage multiple observers on different FSFO configuration. Separate observers are must to manage each FSFO configuration but the management of Observers are done in a group via single dgmgrl prompt. Users can either manage the observer separately like pre 12.2 case or manage observers in a group.
