Domain

While a Layer separates data according to different clients, domains are used to divide them according to content. An object can be located in more than one domain (see CLASSIX.INI).

Domains are managed by the Object Manager.

To visualize information via database layout with InstantView^®, domains are represented by CXS_DOMAIN objects, which can be obtained via  CXS_LAYER objects from the object manager with the function GetLayers.

A CXS_DOMAIN object refers to the CXS_REP_COLLECTIONs which belong to the domain (via data field repCollections).
