The location where distributed attributes are created and managed must now be defined, create the default and home definition.
Default home definition is a structure that is used by distributed attributes to figure out where to create and store the distributed part of the attributes. The DEFHOM ("Allocate" in the GUI) reference points to the allocation rule to use.
Note: That the tests on the logical expressions has not yet implemented.
Default Home
Each Default home definition is represented by a Distributed Attribute Default Home (DSXHOM) element the element must be referenced from distributed attributes, for example: Distributed Attribute Schema (DSXSCH) (where to store elements).


Default Home Destination
You must then create the actual default home. For example: create the top-level elements where the distributed attribute groups are created.
The default home destination contains a string or ID expression that evaluates the name or ID of the default home to be used. When used together with distributed attributes, the name must result in a XPIWLD element. The destination definition also evaluates a logical test that must yield true in order for it to be used.

Default Home Test
Enables more elaborate tests, logical expressions can be defined and inserted between the Distributed Attribute Default Home (DSXHOM) and the final destination.
