The MID Server JAR File [ecc_agent_jar] table is domain separated. You can create versions of these policies that only a MID Server from the same domain can use. For instructions, see Set up domain separation for MID servers.
Warning: Synchronizing a JAR file with this procedure causes all MID Servers connected to the instance to restart automatically.
