You create a tenant template by making choices about general and partition-related settings.
To choose general tenant template settings:
1. Select Database Administration > New > Tenant Template in the management console menu.
The template creation page opens, with the General details in focus.
2. In the Template name field, enter a template name.
Providing the template name is the only requirement on this page; however, you can also choose the database connection, identify default areas, and select an allocation rule if you want.
3. In the Database connection field, enter a database connection name to which you want to add the tenant template. By default, the last used database connection name appears in the Database connection field.
Note: If you type the name of the database connection, follow the format used by OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer to define a connection: AdminServer-name.database-name. A database server must be running for you to connect to the database.
You can also click the Search icon to choose a database for which you are creating the tenant from the Connection Selection dialog.
The Connection Selection dialog displays the connections details in a grid. You can perform the following:
Filter the connections in the grid by Connection name, AdminServer, and/or Category.
Select the column heading and click the drop-down to choose the order (ascending or descending alphabetically) for the connections to appear in the grid.
4. Choose a selection for each of the following:
Default data area — The default area for tenant data
Default index area — The default area for index data
Default LOB area — The default area for LOB field data
For each of the areas, you can either enter the storage area name in the default area field or click the Search icon to choose the storage area name from the Area Selection dialog.
The Area Selection dialog displays the storage area names in a grid. You can perform the following:
Filter the storage area name in the grid by Area name, Records per block, and/or Cluster size.
Move forward or backward a page, or specify a particular page, in the list of domains by using the Page feature at the bottom of the list.
Select the column heading and click the drop-down to choose the order (ascending or descending alphabetically) for the area names to appear in the grid.
5. Optionally select the object allocation rule:
Set new objects not to allocate space — Allocate no space for the tenant's objects.
Set new objects to delay space allocation — Do not yet allocate storage space. (You can allocate space later when you are ready to do so.)
Filter the connections in the grid by Connection name, AdminServer, and/or Category.
