Administering HCL Compass Multisite
Introduction
HCL VersionVault MultiSiteHCL Compass MultiSite adds a powerful capability to HCL VersionVaultHCL Compass. With MultiSite, developers at different locations can use the same HCL VersionVault versioned object base (VOB) HCL Compass database set (a schema repository and its associated user databases). For HCL VersionVault, each location (site) has its own copy (replica) of the VOB. For HCL Compass, each location has its own copies, or replicas, of the schema repository and user databases. At any time, changes made in one replica can be sent in update packets to other replicas. You can manage replicas by using the command-line tools.
Replicated database sets
A database set consists of a schema repository and its associated user databases. A user database cannot exist without its corresponding schema repository, so when you replicate a database set, both the schema repository and the user database are replicated. When you work with a database replica, you are working with two physical databases: a schema repository replica and a user database replica.
Types of schema repositories
Within a clan, one of the schema repository replicas is the working schema repository. At the working schema repository, you can change schemas and create additional user databases which can then be replicated.

Types of schema repositories

Within a clan, one of the schema repository replicas is the working schema repository. At the working schema repository, you can change schemas and create additional user databases which can then be replicated.

At other schema repositories, you cannot change schemas or create user databases. A clan can have only one working schema repository.

At either kind of schema repository, you can perform the following tasks:

Run multiutil commands from an administrator’s workstation
Install and configure store-and-forward
Submit new records
Modify records mastered by the current replica
Administer users mastered by the current replica
