Creating a Domain

A domain comprises AppSpaces and AppNodes. Create a domain first, and then add the AppSpaces and AppNodes to the domain. The domain name is applied to all contained entities.

The following characters are allowed in the domain name:

  • A-Z
  • a-z
  • 0-9
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)

Illegal characters are stripped from the name.

The maximum length of a runtime entity name is 100 characters. If the maximum length is exceeded, the entity name is shortened to 100 characters.

BWAdmin Command Line

If the -home option is not specified in the create command (to set the path to the folder where all files related to the domain are managed), the domain is created in the default location under the BW_HOME\domains directory.

Run the following command to create a domain named MyDomain:
BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin create domain MyDomain
