Pricing Domains

A domain defines a single instance of a working pricing plan and provides access to all items in that catalog. You can have multiple domains in a pricing repository, each of which is independent from the other and is password-protected so only authorized users can gain access.

Domains allow you to segregate pricing according to business needs. For example, to configure pricing for multiple carriers, define a domain for each carrier's pricing plan. If your carrier uses several different engines (as in fully separate deployments, not sub-domains), then you could use multiple domains.
Note: You cannot merge multiple pricing domains into a single loaded pricing file. For example, if your company provides a charging solution for multiple carriers, each carrier must have its own pricing domain.

You can also use domains to create separate areas for different pricing stages, such as current, future, and testing domains, or to create separate pricing plans based on the subscriber's location.

When you use My MATRIXX, the files in the pricing domain are downloaded from the version-controlled source directory to a personal workspace on the My MATRIXX host system. This assures that the changes made by each administrator are isolated and do not interfere with concurrent changes made by other administrators. This allows multiple users to work on the same pricing plan at the same time and to revert to a previous pricing plan without the need to refer back to the previous versions managed in Subversion.

All domains have an identical file system structure, but the pricing files contained within a domain are unique to that domain and cannot be referenced by other pricing plans in the repository.
