Hi Guys,

could you please let me know if it is possible below scenario.  
we are using CMS13.0.1 version, we have a requirement to create 2 namespaces under one Hippo Instance.

like namespace : A ( this will have it’s own compound & document types )  
B ( this will have it’s own compound & document types )

is it possible to have sharing compounds ?

thanks in advance & warm regards  
Ganesh

It is possible but not advisable. It adds a lot of complications with tooling (essentials), coding, update scripts and such… and doesn’t add much value (IMO).

Your document needs hippotranslation:locale property, which is missing…  
EDIT: most probably you are missing id property too…so something like:

hippotranslation:id: cafebabe-cafe-babe-cafe-babecafebabe  
hippotranslation:locale: en

where cafe babe stuff is some unique UUID…
