Configuring multiple question repositories

Desktop User Guides > Author > UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository > Configuring a UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository > Configuring multiple question repositories

You can configure multiple Question Repositories on the same IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services server.

1 Create additional UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository root folders in IBM SPSS Deployment Manager. For information on UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository IBM SPSS Deployment Manager folder requirements, see Folders in a UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository.

2 Create additional repository.dql files, and then put them at the root level of any additional repository folders.

Edit the additional repository.dql files to ensure the DefaultTopic and LibraryTopicRoot properties are defined for the additional repositories:

<property name="DefaultTopic">/Unclassified 2</property>
<property name="LibraryTopicRoot">/Questionnaire Repository 2</property>

In these examples, /Unclassified 2 and /Questionnaire Repository 2 can be replaced with more appropriate topic names. The defined topic names can be unique or identical between the different repositories.

The LibraryTopicRoot property must be the same as one of the IBM SPSS Deployment Manager top-level topics (in the Topic Definitions section).

The DefaultTopic property must be set to a topic that exists underneath the LibraryTopicRoot topic.

3 The root topics you create in IBM SPSS Deployment Manager must match the LibraryTopicRoot entries in each survey asset’s repository.dqlfile.

For information on working with topics, see Topics in a UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository.

4 Define new repository connections in the dialog for each additional repository (see Configure repository connections dialog).

The new repository connections must point to the same IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services server, but each connection will have a different DQL path that points to the new repository.dqlfiles.
