Setting Up a Cloud Pod Architecture
Environment 3
Setting up a Cloud Pod Architecture environment involves initializing the Cloud Pod Architecture feature,
joining pods to the pod federation, and creating global entitlements.
You must create and configure at least one global entitlement to use the Cloud Pod Architecture feature.
You can optionally create sites and assign home sites.

Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature
Before you configure a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, you must initialize the Cloud Pod
Architecture feature.
You need to initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature only once, on the first pod in a pod federation. To
add pods to the pod federation, you join the new pods to the initialized pod.
During the initialization process, View sets up the Global Data Layer on each View Connection Server
instance in the pod, configures the VIPA communication channel, and establishes a replication agreement
between each View Connection Server instance.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod.
You can initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature from any View Connection Server instance in a
pod.
2 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Cloud Pod Architecture and click Initialize the
Cloud Pod Architecture feature.
3 When the Initialize dialog box appears, click OK to begin the initialization process.
View Administrator shows the progress of the initialization process. The initialization process can take
several minutes.
