Obtaining information about existing data domains

You can request the Endeca Server to list one or more data domains that are under its control using endeca-cmd, or the operations from the Manage Web Service.

For each data domain, the Endeca Server returns its name, description, whether it is enabled, and other characteristics.

To list data domains:

  1. Use a command-line window (for example, open a Command Prompt in Windows) and navigate to the endeca-cmd directory or access the Manage Web Service.
  2. Use one of these options, depending on which list you would like to receive:
    Option Description
    listDataDomains in the Manage Web Service, or the equivalent endeca-cmd list-dd --verbose command. Returns information about all data domains registered with the Endeca Server, along with their characteristics.
    getDataDomain in the Manage Web Service, or the equivalent endeca-cmd get-dd name command. Returns information about a single data domain with the specified name.
    Note: To obtain information about the Bulk Load host and port specifically, use any of the following options: endeca-cmd list-dd, endeca-cmd get-dd, or endeca-cmd allocate-bulk-load-port name, where name is the name of the data domain.

    Alternatively, you can use the allocateBulkLoadPortname operation of the Manage Web Service. The Bulk Load port and host are determined dynamically and allocated by the Endeca Server cluster, for each data domain.
