admin.rangeAssignmentPolicyadmin.rangeAssignmentPolicy(
   partition-key as cts.reference,
   lower-bound-included as Boolean
) as element(db.assignmentPolicy)
Summary
  This function returns an element that represents the range assignment policy.
  Use the 
  
  admin.databaseSetAssignmentPolicy
	  function to set the assignment policy.

	    | partition-key | 
	    
    This parameter specifies the cts reference that will be used as the partition key.
    It can be an element range index, an attribute range index, a field range index or
    a path range index. The range index can have any data type except for geospatial
    types.

	    | lower-bound-included | 
	    
    If this paramenter is true, ranges on all forests in the database have closed lower
    bounds and open upper bound; if it is false, ranges
    on all forests in the database have open lower bounds and closed upper bounds.
    
    For example, if the partition range is 2011-01-02 (lower) to 2011-01-02 (upper) and
    lower-bound-include is set to false, documents with
    partition key value of 2011-01-02 will not be included in the partition, but documents with
    a partition key value of 2011-01-03 and 2011-01-02 will be included.

Example
const admin = require('/MarkLogic/admin');
// An element range index is already configured.
const config = admin.getConfiguration();
const dbId = admin.databaseGetId(config, 'db1');
// Range assignment policy doesn't work with fast locking; use "strict" or no locking instead.
const setLock = admin.databaseSetLocking(config, dbId, 'strict');
const ref = cts.elementReference(fn.QName('uri', 'localname'));
const rangePolicy = admin.rangeAssignmentPolicy(ref, true);
const setAssign = admin.databaseSetAssignmentPolicy(setLock, dbId, rangePolicy);
admin.saveConfiguration(setAssign);
