Adding nodes

When you add a host, a root, or a site to the ACL tree, you add only the pertinent parts of the node scheme. For example, adding a root does not automatically add a site.

The parts that are added come from the original template. You do not add any other content nodes that have been added to the original, or copy any ACLs. The new node and all its contents are a blank slate.

When you add a host, you must also add a root, because every host machine must run the host server. This root can have the same node name as a root in another host machine.

Only sites that are created using the Site Init GUI tool are automatically added to the ACL. If you use the hcisiteinit command to create the site, then it is not automatically added to the ACL even in advanced security mode.

The only times a site is automatically added to the ACL are:

  • Using the Site Init tool to add a site when in advanced security mode.
  • Using the hcisiteinit command or the Site Init GUI tool in no security or basic security and then upgrading to advanced security.

Nodes for variants of the configuration files for message formats can be added to the ACL tree. This is in addition to hosts, roots, or sites. For example, HRL or FRL.

A few of the nodes for standard message formats, such as HL7 and X12, already contain nodes for the standard variants.
