[wiki:ManagingDistributionServer up to Managing distribution on the server side]

We have distTargets that define data and rcDestinations that define destinations. The files that get posted to destination's data store are specified by an rcInterest.

Data gets bundled when there is a destination that has expressed interset in a target.

This table is rather boring to look at alone

{{{
mysql> select rcInterest.* from rcInterest join distTarget using(target_id) where dist_group = 'MD01' and stage = 'warp';
+--------+---------+-----------+---------+
| int_id | dest_id | target_id | state   |
+--------+---------+-----------+---------+
|   1393 |      20 |       742 | enabled | 
|   1394 |      20 |       744 | enabled | 
|   1395 |      20 |       743 | enabled | 
|   1396 |      20 |       746 | enabled | 
|   1397 |      20 |       745 | enabled | 
+--------+---------+-----------+---------+
}}}

What's going on is more instructive when the table is joined with the targets

{{{
mysql> select * from rcInterest join distTarget using(target_id) where dist_group = 'MD01' and stage = 'warp';
+-----------+--------+---------+---------+------------+---------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| target_id | int_id | dest_id | state   | dist_group | filter  | stage | clean | state   | comment |
+-----------+--------+---------+---------+------------+---------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
|       742 |   1393 |      20 | enabled | MD01       | g.00000 | warp  |     0 | enabled | NULL    | 
|       744 |   1394 |      20 | enabled | MD01       | i.00000 | warp  |     0 | enabled | NULL    | 
|       743 |   1395 |      20 | enabled | MD01       | r.00000 | warp  |     0 | enabled | NULL    | 
|       746 |   1396 |      20 | enabled | MD01       | y.00000 | warp  |     0 | enabled | NULL    | 
|       745 |   1397 |      20 | enabled | MD01       | z.00000 | warp  |     0 | enabled | NULL    | 
+-----------+--------+---------+---------+------------+---------+-------+-------+---------+---------+

The first interest in the table above might have been added by the command


{{{
disttool -defineinterest -dest_name ps1-200910-2 -dist_group MD01 -stage warp -filter g.00000
}}}
