Introduction to Managing Colonies

A default colony is always created when you install the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation. You can use the Manage Colony tool to create additional colonies. All colonies share the Configuration schema, Statistics schema, and Metadata schema, but they have separate Transaction/Masterdata schemas.

You can add colonies to your multischema configuration in the following ways:

Note: To add colonies, your application must be in multischema mode. If you have installed the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation in single-schema mode or upgraded to Release 9.2 from a previous version, move to multischema mode by performing the steps described in Move from Single-Schema Mode to Multischema Mode.
