Disabling a data domain

Disabling a data domain is a means of stopping the data domain nodes (the Dgraph processes) serving this data domain.

When you initially create a data domain, or clone an existing data domain, you can optionally set is-enable to false in endeca-cmd create--dd, thus making the data domain disabled when it is created.

A data domain is disabled when its nodes are not running. When you disable a data domain, it remains registered with the Endeca Server, but its Dgraph processes are stopped. The resources the Endeca Server reserves for this data domain remain allocated to it — when you subsequently enable the data domain, it continues to use these resources.

To disable a data domain:

Use one of these options from the Manage Web Service or from the endeca-cmd:

Option	Description
`disableDataDomain` or `endeca-cmd disable-dd name`	This command of the Manage Web Service disables a data domain.
`createDataDomain` or `endeca-cmd create-dd --is-enabled false`	When you create a new data domain, you can specify `false` for `is-enabled`. In this case, the created data domain is disabled (its processes are not running).
`cloneDataDomain` or `endeca-cmd clone-dd --is-enabled false`	When you clone an existing data domain, if you specify `false` for `is-enabled`, the new data domain is disabled after it is created.
