Overview
Admin App v2.0.0 supports the ability to administrate multiple instances within a single version of the applications. Admin App supports two roles for this, Super-Administrator who can view and register all ODS / API instances and its functions, and Administrator who is assigned particular ODS / API instances and its functions. It is important to note that Admin App will administrate existing instances of the ODS / API, not create ODS / API instances. They must exist prior to using them within Admin App. Shared instance mode is still supported within Admin App.
The ODS / API modes supported by multi-instance management within Admin App are:

Checklist
Use this checklist and the details below for successful ODS instance registration:
- Database should exist on the server
With provided District/EdOrg id or school year, the system will generate valid instance name (Database name).
Ex: District/EdOrg id provided by user = 255901
EdFi_Ods_Production database name on web.config = EdFi_{0}
Then generated ODS instance name will be = EdFi_Ods_255901
User has to make sure, the database (EdFi_Ods_255901) exists on the server.
- Generated ODS instance / database name length should be below 50 characters.
