Master site configuration

Root-level master site:

  • This is selected on the Root Preferences dialog box.
  • No site is selected by default.
  • This selection is stored in the root configuration file at $HCIROOT/rootinfo.

Site-level master site:

  • This is selected on the General tab of the Site Preferences dialog box.
  • The list of sites excludes the current site and includes a choice to not select any site.
  • No site is selected by default.
  • This selection is stored in the site configuration file at tab of the $HCISITEDIR/siteinfo.

The name (Master) is displayed together with the master site name in the Site Manager and Server and Environment selection dialog box. This lists all sites on initial log-in and when selecting Server > Change.

Master is also shown in these contexts:

  • Site name that is shown on the Window title bar. This also shows the selected master site.
  • Status bar site name.
  • Site folder that is shown on the Site Manager.

Multiple master sites

Multiple master sites can be in one root.

Each site can select their own master site. One site can select only one master site.

A one-level master site is supported. For example, SiteA selects SiteB as master. SiteB selects SiteC as master. Now, only the configuration of SiteB is available for SiteA. The configuration of SiteC is not available for SiteA.

Note: One-level master support indicates one-level master visibility support. That is, only a one-level master configuration is visible or selectable for the current site.

When a master site is configured, the master site name on the Please select a Configuration Server and Environment (Root/Site) dialog box has a "(Master)" suffix.

When a master site is opened, the site name at the bottom of the GUI also lists the site name with the "(Master)" suffix.

The "(Master)" suffix is also displayed after a master site name on the Site Manager.
