Liquent InSight Rendering 4.4 Administration

Defining Subdomains

A subdomain is a grouping of repository servers that represents a subset of the servers belonging to an InSight Rendering domain.

For example, if your InSight Rendering domain consists of servers in the US and UK, you can define a subdomain including all the US servers and a subdomain including all the UK servers. There is no limit to the number of servers that you can join to a subdomain, and an individual repository server can belong to more than one subdomain.

Regarding content-based routing, if you want to route job requests to a group of servers in a subdomain, you must first define the subdomain before you can define the content-based routing criteria.

If you want to route job requests to a group of servers in a subdomain, based on job properties or business services, you must first define the subdomain before you can define the content-based routing criteria.

You need to perform this procedure on only one repository in a domain.

To define a subdomain:
  1. In Domain Manager, click the Configuration tab in the left pane.
  2. Expand Domain and click Subdomains.
    In the right pane, the Name column lists any subdomains that have already been defined.
  3. To change a subdomain’s settings:
    1. Right-click the subdomain and choose Properties.
    2. Continue to step 5.
  4. To create a new subdomain, right-click in the right pane and choose New subdomain.
    The Subdomain Properties dialog box opens.
  5. In the Name box, enter a name for the subdomain.
  6. In the Description box, enter a description for the subdomain.
  7. In the Repositories list box, check the repository servers that you want to join to this subdomain. You can also join repositories to existing subdomains using the Repository Properties dialog box; see Repository Properties.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each subdomain that you need to define.
  10. Choose File > Save to save your changes.
    Once you have established your subdomains, you can use them when defining job routing criteria.
