Managing Domains

The PIX Console includes a Domain Manager that allows you to view and update information about the external domains that participate in the PIX/PDQ system. You can add new domains and edit or delete existing ones. Changes you make in the Domain Manager are also reflected in the sbyn_systems table of the master index database.

When you update or add domain information, you need to restart the GlassFish server in order for the changes to take effect in the system.
