Creating a new Federated Database

The first thing you will need to do is create a Federated Database. To create a Federated Database, you will need to use the oonewfd tool.

As an example, we will use the oonewfd command to create a Federated Database with a boot file called “test.boot", a system-database file called “test.fdb”, and that uses a host called “objyhost” as the lock server with fd id of 52 (be sure to give each of your federated database a unique id to prevent the lockserver from being confused between them):

	oonewfd test.boot –fdfilepath test.fdb –lockserver objyhost -fdnum 52

The output from the command line should look like this:


C:\>oonewfd test.boot -fdfilepath test.fdb -lockserver objyhost
