Creating a central Document Broker repository

It is recommended to create a central Document Broker repository that can be linked to several application domains. By using a central Document Broker repository you will have one single Document Broker repository used and managed for all document broking and post processing requirements. This central repository enables you to consolidate documents from multiple sources in different application domains.

Note:

You cannot connect an application domain to several Document Broker repositories.

Scenario

Company ABC uses three different StreamServer applications, all running in separate application domains. Company ABC needs to consolidate the output documents from StreamServer A and StreamServer B, and use StreamServer C to deliver the consolidated documents to the customers. To achieve this, a central Document Broker repository is created and connected to all three application domains. StreamServer A and StreamServer B stores the output documents in this central repository, and StreamServer C collects the documents from the same repository.
