OpenEdge Getting Started: Multi-tenancy Overview - Product ...

Database Administration Console
• Work with existing tenants and multi-tenant database objects — You can
work easily with existing tenants to accomplish various tasks related to
multi-tenancy configuration, such as:
– View an alphabetical list of all tenants in the currently selected database.
– Access utilities by selecting a tenant.
– View a tenant’s layout, including the database object schema, tenant object
areas, and object properties. Color coding in the partition layout allows you
to see easily each object’s allocation state.
You can also view tenant partition details and choose how the data is
displayed: within area panels or by columns in a grid format. The grid format
allows you to choose the information you want to see (partition name, area,
allocation state, and/or object type) and sort the information in ascending or
descending alphabetical order.
– Decide when storage space is to be allocated for a tenant’s data:
immediately, delayed (for now), or not at all.
– Specify storage area assignments for a tenant’s data (tables, indexes, and
LOB fields). If you choose not to allocate storage space immediately when
you create a tenant, you can reorganize the layout of the multi-tenant
database objects, such as moving a table from one area to another area.
– Filter the tenant list so you can focus on specific tenants. For example, you
can set up the list so that you see only regular tenants or tenants categorized
by allocation rule.
– Add one or more tenant domains by choosing from a predefined domain list.
– Add one or more users to a tenant.
– Search for a particular tenant.
– Select which of a tenant’s areas you want to see when you look at the
tenant’s area layout. By choosing the areas you want to see, known as the
area working set, you can focus only on areas of current interest to you.
– Filter the partition view by allocation state for a tenant or a tenant template.
– Enable or disable access to a regular tenant’s data.
• Load and preview a data definition file — You can upload a data definition file
(.df) and preview its contents (tables, LOB fields, indexes, and sequences)
before you commit the changes.
• Load database contents — You can load table and group contents into an active
database. The database must have table definitions before you can load table or
group contents. The console uses the .d files to load table contents from a
directory you specify or to load group contents from the subdirectory for groups
you specify.
Note: You must have administrator privileges to load table and group contents.
