Managing GDS Regions

To manage GDS regions and buddies, use GDSCTL to add, modify or remove regions within the configuration.

Note:

If you require only one Global Data Services region, then you do not need to add a region using these instructions. A default Global Data Services region, REGIONORA, is created for you when you create the Global Data Services catalog.

Example 4-4 Adding A Global Data Services Region

GDSCTL> add region -region west,east

The preceding example adds two regions, east and west, to the Global Data Services framework.

A Global Data Services region should have a name that is unique within the corresponding Global Data Services configuration. If no name is specified at the first region creation time, the default name, oraregion, is given to the region. The region name can be up to 30 characters long and can be any valid identifier - an alphabetical character followed by zero or more alphanumeric ASCII characters or '_'.

Example 4-5 Modifying Existing Global Data Services Region

To modify the configuration parameters for an existing region, use the modify region command:

GDSCTL> modify region -region west -buddy east

Where -buddy indicates a "buddy" region.

Example 4-6 Removing Existing Global Data Services Region

To remove specified regions from the global service management framework, use the remove region command:

GDSCTL> GDSCTL> remove region -region south
