Deployment for multiple Repositories
Multiple Repositories can be required to provide support for more than one data center, for different geographical regions, and for running multiple customers.
Db2 only: It is recommended that not more than 50 repositories be defined in a Db2 subsystem that is referenced by each Analyzer. This is to prevent overload to the Analyzer and also for easier management of repositories.
You can locate multiple Repositories in one central location, or
you can locate them in geographically dispersed locations. Multiple
Repositories may be organized as follows:
- For a central location
- For geographically dispersed locations
Central location
Each Repository contains data that is divided up into logical units, for example:
- Data center
- Outsourced customer
- Sysplex
Geographically dispersed locations
Each Repository is defined with its own database at a specific geographic site as a stand alone operation. Reporting can only be performed for each specific Repository. The disadvantage with this configuration is that it can be necessary to consolidate Repository data to a central site for reporting purposes.
