   For example, an erwin file path could be /home/db73/ftpshare/<infodom>/erwin.
   The specified details provided for the database and application server details will be mapped to the Information Domain. A consolidated data would be stored in the DSNMASTER table in the Config Schema database.
7. Select the Meta Database Server from the drop-down list. This is the database server of the Metadom Schema.

   After creating Information Domain successfully, add persistence unit entry and replace the $JNDI_KEY_FOR_SERVER_TYPE in GRCpersistence.xml file present under $FIC_WEB_HOME/webroot/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF folder.
   The value for JNDI_KEY_FOR_SERVER_TYPE will vary based on the webserver type.
   Similarly add persistence unit entry to persistence.xml file present under $FIC_DB_HOME/conf/META-INF folder.
   On creating an Information Domain a list of objects are created using the script files.
