12.5. Custom Distribution Checklist
In summary, the following steps are involved in adding the distribution function to your directory:
- Create the distribution function.
- Create a suffix.
- Add as many databases to the suffix as required by your distribution algorithm.
- Declare the distribution function in the suffix. You must specify the library path and the function name.
- Import data into the databases. If you do not import data, you need to import the root entry to each database.
