# Post-Production Domain Separation Activation Utility

The post-production Domain Separation activation utility aids in the activation of Domain Separation in a live environment.

## Post-Production Domain Separation Activation Utility plugin

The Post-Production Domain Separation Activation Utility plugin \(com.glide.domain.activation\_utility\) simplifies the task of creating a domain-separated environment in a post production live environment.

The utility provides a step-by-step guided setup for creating domains.

**Note:** The process of populating domain records in domain separated tables requires downtime or restricted access to the instance.
