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.
