You can create a cluster of database locations in the Clusters node. After you create the cluster, you can add locations to it, and add access privileges or copy access privileges from another cluster.
Before you begin creating new clusters, the Clusters node is empty. As you add clusters, you can refresh the Clusters node to display all of the clusters. Each cluster in the Clusters node contains a list of the locations within the cluster. Clusters are also displayed in the Locations node. Each cluster in the Locations node contains a list of all of the repository objects to which the cluster has access.
