How a KB is created

During installation, a KB that serves as a template for all cell KBs is created for the cell. This KB provides the cell with the data definitions, data instances, collector definitions, and rules for a fully functional environment in which to process events and service components. If you modify the template KB, any cell that you install or create will include those modifications.

When you create or install a new cell by using the mcrtcell command, you always create or install a KB in the newly created cell's KB directory path: installationDirectory/pw/server/etc/CellName/kb. Modifications to the KB in the CellName/kb directory apply to the CellName cell only.
