Global Data Services Pool

Use Global Data Services pools to group databases for simplified service management and increased security in GDS configurations.

A Global Data Services pool (GDS pool) is a named subset of databases within a GDS configuration. Each GDS pool provides a unique set of global services and belongs to a single administrative domain. Partitioning GDS configuration databases into pools simplifies service management and increases security, because each pool can be administered by a different administrator.

A database can belong to only one Global Data Services pool. Not all databases in a pool must provide the same set of global services. However, every database that provides a specific global service must belong to the same pool.
