The 
               		
seeout utility can be used to create a shared catalog definition in the cross-region database. To do this you must specify the name
               of the definition and the locations of the catalog file and data allocation folder. For example: 
               		
seeout -usedb:mydbinst -sharedcatalog:xyz -catalog:c:\SharedCatalog\catalog.dat -dataloc:c:\SharedCatalog\DATA
 will create a shared catalog definition named 
               		
xyz in the cross-region database on the 
               		
mydbinst database server instance. The catalog file 
               		
c:\SharedCatalog\catalog.dat and data allocation folder 
               		
c:\SharedCatalog\DATA are associated with the definition.
