Creating a new site with an existing BOX

  1. Right-click a BOX and select Create Site from the menu.
    The site name must contain only lowercase letters, digits, or underscores. It cannot be the same as an existing site name of the current host.
  2. After entering a unique site name, click Next to open the BOX Summary and Resources dialog box.
    • The Summary tab shows a summary of the BOX.
    • The Resources tab shows the current resources for the BOX.
    • The BOX resource tree groups different level resources into different tree root nodes: Site, Master Site, and Root.
  3. Click Next.
    A BOX can contain master site or root level resources. If there are files with the same names on the master site or root level folders of the current host, then these conflicts must be resolved.
  4. Click Next.
    This opens the Merge Box Resource into Master Site or Root dialog box. This is similar to the Resolve Conflict dialog box of the BOX deployment wizard.
    The difference is that the Create Site wizard only handles master site or root level conflicts. The Deploy BOX wizard handles all level resource conflicts.
    When you are finished creating the new site and deploying BOX resources to all level folders, TCL procedure indexes of all levels are automatically updated.
  5. Click Next.
    This opens the Confirm Environment Configurations dialog box. This dialog box is similar to the Confirm Environment Configurations dialog box in the Deploy BOX wizard. It lists all ports and environment-related variables for each thread of NetConfig. Ports are usually different when a thread runs in another host. This gives you the convenience of setting ports from one GUI.
  6. Select the Other Environment Configurations tab.
    To be deployed, a BOX can come from other hosts in different environments. This tab shows all system environment-related variables for threads.
  7. If the BOX being created contains one or more database schema resources, then clicking Next opens the Confirm Database Configurations dialog box. Verify all entries are correct or make modifications as required.
  8. Click Finish.
    The wizard creates a new site for the current host to which the BOX belongs, and then deploys BOX resources to the new site.
    If an error happens during site creation or resource deployment, then an error message opens. At this point, you are returned to the wizard to correct the error.
