Collibra domain purpose

The Collibra domain is an application which serves as a shared configuration for other applications.

The Mule ESB Standalone server runs on a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Its architecture allows for multiple applications to be deployed on a single server efficiently.

However, in order to allow for resources, for example TCP ports, to be shared across different applications, deployed onto that same server, the configuration of the connector for the resources must be shared as well. Therefore, the configuration needs to be defined in a “domain”, rather than with each individual “application”, and the applications sharing the same domain can then share the same resource, for example TCP port 80.
