Configuring multiple partitions for Unica Campaign
In the Unica family of products, partitions provide a way to secure the data that is associated with different groups of users. When you configure Unica Campaign or a related Unica application to operate with multiple partitions, users can see each partition as a separate instance of the application. There is no indication that other partitions exist on the same computer.
Setting up multiple partitions
Configure multiple partitions in Unica Campaign to isolate and secure data for different groups of Unica Campaign users. As each partition has its own set of configuration properties, you can customize Unica Campaign for each group of users.
Setting up system users for Campaign
You can associate a system user with one or more Unica Platform data sources to avoid presenting users with repeated prompts for login credentials. Each data source specifies a user name and password. You can provide a user name and password to access a database or other protected resources by referencing the data source. By adding multiple data sources to the configuration of the system user account, you can allow the system user to access multiple databases.

Each Unica Campaign listener provides an interface between front-end clients (such as the Unica Campaign web application) and back-end analytical server processes.
