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.
Before you begin
Before you configure additional partitions in Unica Campaign, complete
the following tasks for each partition that you are configuring:
- Create database or schema for the Unica Campaign system
tables
- Create ODBC or native connections
- Create JDBC connections in the web application server
Procedure
Complete the following tasks to set up multiple partitions
for Campaign:
- Create the system tables database and any other data sources
required for your partitions. Then configure the JDBC and ODBC or
native connections required to access your data sources.
- For each partition, create a different schema in your database
to hold the system tables.
Use the database-specific scripts
packaged with Campaign to create and populate the system tables.
- Complete the following tasks to create a directory structure
for each additional partition:
Note: Save a clean copy
of the original partition1 directory to serve as a backup.
- In the partitions directory under
your Unica Campaign installation,
create a duplicate of the default partition1 directory
for each partition that you are adding, ensuring that you include
all sub-directories.
- Name each partition directory with a unique name. Use
these exact same names for the partitions when you later create their
configuration trees on the Configurations page.
If you want to create a second partition and created the
directory named Campaign/partitions/partition2,
when you create the configuration tree on the Configurations page,
you must use the name "partition2" to identify this partition.
- Delete any files that exist in the duplicate partition
sub-directories.
- Complete the following tasks to use the partitionTool utility
with the -s option to clone the default partition:
Note: If you decide not to use this option, you must stop the
web application server where Unica Platform is
deployed before performing this procedure.
- Set the JAVA_HOME environment
variable, either in the setenv script located
in the tools/bin directory of your Unica Platform installation,
or in the command line window in which you run the partitionTool utility.
- Open a command line window and run the utility from
the tools/bin directory under your Unica Platform installation.
Use the appropriate command and options (as described in the Unica Platform Administrator's
Guide) to achieve your desired results.
partitionTool
-c -s partition1 -n partition2
- Repeat this procedure for each new partition you need
to create.
- When you are finished, stop and restart the application
server where Unica Platform is
deployed to see the groups that were created.
Note: For
complete information on using this utility, see
partitionTool.
- Complete the following tasks to create the partition structure
on the Configuration page by using the
New
partitionTemplate
for each new partition:
-
On the Configuration page, navigate to and click
(partitionTemplate).
If you do not see the
(partitionTemplate)
property in the list, use the configTool
utility to import the partition template, using a command similar to
the following:
configTool -i -p "Affinium|Campaign|partitions"
-f <CAMPAIGN_HOME>/conf/partitionTemplate.xml
Replace CAMPAIGN_HOME with the actual path to your Unica Campaign
installation.
The configTool utility is found in the
tools directory under your Unica Platform
installation. See the Unica Platform
Administrator's Guide for information on using this
utility.
In the right pane, you see the partitionTemplate pane with an
empty New category name field.
- Enter the name for the new partition, using the same
name that you used when creating the partition's directory structure
in the file system in Setting up multiple partitions.
- Click Save Changes.
You see the new partition structure, with the same categories
and properties as in the partition template.
Note: If campaign is having multiple partitions, then during upgrade user need
to upgrade all the partitions.
