Article Summary

In a multi-tenant environment, the host server is called the Control Instance. The Control Instance is the primary host for additional Tenant Instances.

The Control Instance can direct users to the desired instance throughout the environment. The following document demonstrates how to install a Control Instance.


Installing Control Instance

  1. Download and then run the Decisions Installer as an Administrator.
  2. Continue with the installation until the Select Installation Type window. Select Multi-Tenancy Server (Control), then click Next. 
  3. Proceed with the installation as outlined in the Installation Guide
  4. Complete the installation process, then open the Studio and verify that the environment contains the System >  Hosting Folder with the created Instance Name visible in the Folder's respective Report. 

Accounts assigned to Control Instance

By default, when a new account is created in a Control Instance, it is automatically assigned to the Control Instance unless otherwise unchecked from the settings. Additionally, administrators have the ability to assign accounts to specific tenants available on the Control Instance. To create a new account, refer to Creating Accounts.
