When you install Oracle CDD/Repository on your system,
    the installation procedure creates a template repository
    (CDD$TEMPLATE) and a repository database directory
    (CDD$TEMPLATEDB). CDD$TEMPLATE contains the CDD$PROTOCOL
    directory, which stores all the type definitions Oracle
    CDD/Repository uses to create metadata.

    The DEFINE REPOSITORY command creates several files in the
    specified OpenVMS anchor directory. Oracle CDD/Repository keeps
    directory information in these files in the anchor directory;
    Oracle CDD/Repository does not store directory information with
    the CDO definitions in the Oracle Rdb database.

    Oracle CDD/Repository creates all new CDO repositories from
    CDD$TEMPLATE and CDD$TEMPLATEDB. If, after defining customized
    types in a repository, you want to include these types in all
    subsequent repositories that you create, you must make them part
    of the template.

    To do this, execute the following command procedure:

    $ @SYS$LIBRARY:CDD_BUILD_TEMPLATE.COM -
    _$ repository-anchor-dir  repository-db-anchor-dir

    Use the repository-anchor-dir parameter to specify the repository
    that contains definitions of your customized types. Use the
    repository-db-anchor-dir parameter to specify the empty directory
    that will hold database files.

    Then, rename the CDD$TEMPLATE and CDD$TEMPLATEDB logicals to the
    parameter names you specified.

    After you have assigned the logical name CDD$TEMPLATE to a
    repository, the protocols in that repository's CDD$PROTOCOLS
    directory will be distributed to any new CDO repository you
    create. If you have extended the types supplied by Oracle
    CDD/Repository or if you have created your own types in a
    repository, you may want to assign the logical name CDD$TEMPLATE
    to that repository so that these types will be copied into
    the CDD$PROTOCOLS directory of any subsequent repositories you
    create. If CDD$TEMPLATE is not defined, each new repository you
    create will contain only types supplied by Oracle CDD/Repository.

    If you no longer want to use the templates supplied by Oracle
    CDD/Repository and want to use only the customized template
    that you created, delete the original CDD$TEMPLATE and
    CDD$TEMPLATEDB directories. Modify the following lines the
    SYS$STARTUP:CDDSTRTUP.COM command procedure to point to the new
    location of the template:

    $ DEFINE/NOLOG/SYSTEM/EXEC CDD$TEMPLATE device:[CDD$TEMPLATE]
    $ DEFINE/NOLOG/SYSTEM/EXEC CDD$TEMPLATEDB device:[CDD$TEMPLATEDB]
