C Creating a Global Domain Configuration Directory (Optional)

This appendix describes the optional process to create a Global Domain Configuration Directory.

Using globaldomainconfig.xml to Partition and Label Domains

If you are installing a Global Domain environment, an xml file may be created to determine how the domains will be partitioned and the label of each domain. If you take this approach, the -configdir option should be used when running rpasInstall.

Example C-1 is the structure of the globaldomainconfig.xml file:

• Path

  The location of the root of the domain. For the RDF configuration, RDF is the root to the Master domain.

• Partitiondim

  The partition dimension.

For RDF pgrp (Group) is the dimension in which the local domains will be partitioned. There can only be one partition dimension.

• Subpath:

  The path and name of the local (sub-domain) that contains a specific partition position.

• ldom+#

  The default name given by RPAS to local domains. For the RDF configuration, postinstall scripts are pre-configured to install and load data to the domains named ldom0ldom1, and ldom2.

• Subposition

  The position from the partition dimension that will be located in the local domain.

The RDF configuration will create three local domains. For example, ldom0 will include all product positions at or below pgrp 1100.

Example C-1 XML File Structure

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes ?>
<rpas>
    <globaldomain>
        <path>/Domains/RDF</path>
        <partitiondim>pgrp</partitiondim>
        <subdomain>
            <subpath>/Domains/RDF/ldom0</subpath>
            <subpositions>1100</subpositions>
        </subdomain>
        <subdomain>
            <subpath>/Domains/RDF/ldom1</subpath>
            <subpositions>1300</subpositions>
        </subdomain>
        <subdomain>
            <subpath>/Domains/RDF/ldom2</subpath>
            <subpositions>2500</subpositions>
        </subdomain>
    </globaldomain>
</rpas> 

Note: If you use the Example C-1, "XML File Structure" to install the RDF configuration, only the Path and Subpath to the domains may be changed; but the local domains (ldom0, ldom1, ldom2), partition dimension (pgrp), and subpositions (1100, 1300 and 2500) must be the same as previously listed.
