Application Domains

Application Domains are a useful way of grouping your integration jobs into meaningful groups. For instance, maybe you create two application domains, one for Finance related jobs, and one for Operational related jobs. You can create application domains for any purpose where it makes sense to group jobs together in your environment. Some of our customers even create application domains for each development team, and some for each office location, it really depends on your preference.

By default, an Application Domain named ‘SharedDomain’ is created upon installation. This application domain is typically used for public access by anyone who uses the system, but you also have control over the security levels. Application domains are kept separate in the server repository. Each time you save a job, you can assign it to an application domain.

You can also assign security rights around the application domains so that certain users can only access certain application domains, and even assign different types of functionality a user has within an application domain.

To create an application domain:

1. Log into the designer application and connect to the server you would like to manage.

2. Select the View->Administrator menu item.

3. Click the Application Domains icon.

4. Click the ‘Add’ button

5. Give the application domain a name in name field, it will default to <New>.

6. Enter or select a directory on the server where you want the application domain repository to reside.

7. Click ‘Apply’

The server will create a new repository for the application domain and you have instant access to begin using it. Don’t forget to go into the User / Roles and assign the appropriate security.
