Chapter 2: Multi-tenant feature capabilities
Database Administration Console
As part of OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer, the Database
Administration Console provides a browser-based interface for managing all aspects
of your multi-tenant database.
The Database Administration console user interface provides efficient and
easy-to-use navigation for managing tenants and multi-tenant data. From the
management console, you can:
• Convert a non-multi-tenant database to one configured for multi-tenancy —
You can quickly enable multi-tenancy for a database.
• Establish connections to multi-tenant databases — You can set up local and
remote connections to managed databases or scripted databases. These
databases are listed automatically in the list of database resources in the
management console.
You can also set up unmanaged local or remote database connections.
Depending on the type of connection you define, you can also edit, copy, and/or
delete it.
• Create new database tenants, delete tenants, or generate a tenant creation
program — You can create two types of tenants: a regular tenant or a super
tenant. You can also delete a tenant. Alternatively, you can generate a tenant
program based on preferred settings for either an existing tenant or a new tenant.
You can use the resultant generated program to later create a tenant quickly,
without needing to resupply the settings saved in the program. You can also
create a tenant from an existing tenant.
• Enable a table for multi-tenancy — You can enable one or more tables for
multi-tenancy and then allocate the table’s partitions.
• Create a tenant template — You can create, view, and edit a template that
includes tenant-specific details, such as default storage areas and per-object
tenant mapping, so you can reuse the template to create another tenant.
• Create a tenant group — You can create, view, and edit a tenant group, and add
one or more tenants to it. A group has a partition for a table and partitions for any
of the LOB fields and indexes in the table. Each tenant in the group has shared
access to the partition and its data.
You can also generate a group creation program based on preferred settings, and
later use the program to create a group quickly or that you can use to transfer a
group from one database to another database.
