Depending on what you want to achieve in terms of document storage and access, you organize the StreamServe applications in application domains. All applications in one application domain share the same repositories, connection profiles, document types, channels for reprocess and preview, etc.
For example, you can use one application domain per company, department, or geographical region. Or you can use one application domain for the test environment and another application domain for the production environment.
You can configure recovery actions for each application domain. For example, what actions to take if the connection to the runtime repository is lost, and who to notify if one of the applications in the application domain goes down.
Applications domains are independent from computers. This means you can use different computers to run applications in the same domain, or you can use the same computer to run applications in different domains.
