Symbolic links
Using symbolic links, you can move SMAT files to locations outside the Cloverleaf root directory. These files can be opened from any location.
Symbolic links are only supported for linking an entire site to another directory outside $HCIROOT. The symbolic linking of $HCISITEDIR sub-directories is not supported.
On UNIX and Windows installations, the Site Init tool has a Select a location for sites outside HCIROOT (Optional) option. This is for a symbolic link. A symbolic link creates a site from a user-specified location at $HCIROOT/newsite and creates a link to the new site at path/newsite. This location can be outside $HCIROOT.
This is only available in NTFS on Windows. The target path is R/W to the user.
Clicking the folder button opens the Export to Directory dialog box, where you select the location.
If a site is configured with a symbol link, then the link is shown when the site is selected on the General tab of the Server Administration dialog box.
Command-line usage is also available. See hcisiteinit.
