Domain
A domain is a logical group that provides an isolated environment for applications and their resources.
A domain contains multiple runtime entities such as app spaces and adapter nodes, and can span more than one machine and share a machine with other domains, that is, one machine can contain more than one domain. Applications in one domain are separated from applications in the other domains.
A domain is the first entity that you must create during the deployment. Runtime entities, such as app spaces and adapter nodes, can only exist within a domain. After creating a domain, you can upload an application archive to the domain. The adapter application contained in the application archive then can be deployed to app space for execution.
A domain manifests as a folder. The folder contains child folders, appspaces and appnodes, to store data regarding the app space and adapter nodes, and also contains an archives folder to store application archive files.
You can find the created domain folder in the TIBCO_HOME\afx\domains directory.
