30. MetaData Application Libraries

MetaData Application Libraries

By default, the metadata for all applications created using WOW is stored in a single library (PJUSER64) or (PJUSERxx)

depending on your version of WOW. For more complex environments with multiple applications with varying delivery

schedules you can implement multiple libraries. For example, you may have two WOW applications running on your development

box and you wish to move one of these applications to a production environment. Since metadata records for both

applications are stored in the same files, you will only have to copy records that correspond to the application

you wish to move. You do not need to copy the records for the application that you do not wish to move.

On the other hand, if your application were stored in two different libraries on your development environment, you could just copy all of the files in the application's library over to production. In general, each related group of WOW applications can be stored in its own application library to facilitate any future moves or migrations. However, if you have no need to move applications independently of each other, they can all exist in the same library. The recommendation is to use a single metadata library unless you experience staging problems.
