Configuring multiple question repositories
The following steps detail the process of configuring 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 place them at the root level of any additional repository folders.
Edit the additional repository.dql files to ensure the DefaultTopic and LibraryTopicRoot properties are properly 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.
The new repository connections should 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.
