1. In the Management Client window, in the Federated Sites Hierarchy pane, select the
requesting site, right-click, and click Accept Inclusion in Hierarchy.
2. Click Yes.
3. The new parent/child link is established and the Federated Sites Hierarchy pane pane is
updated with the normal site icon for the selected site.
Changes made to child sites located far from your home-site might take some time to be
reflected in the Federated Sites Hierarchy pane.
Refresh site hierarchy
The system performs automatic synchronization of the hierarchy regularly through all levels of your
parent/child setup. You can refresh if you want a current overview of the sites in the hierarchy, and do
not want to wait for the next automatic synchronization.
When you refresh, the home-site displays a current overview of the sites in the hierarchy from the
home site's point-of-view. Only changes saved by the home-site since the last synchronization are
reflected.
1. To refresh, right-click the home site in the Federated Site Hierarchy pane and click Refresh
Site Hierarchy.
2. Changes further down in the hierarchy are not reflected. To see them, await a full automatic
synchronization.
Connect to another site in hierarchy
If you have administrator rights, you can connect to other sites and administrate these.
1. Click the relevant site in the Federated Site Hierarchy pane.
A brief dialog box informs you that you are being connected to the selected site.
2. When connection is complete, your view in the Federated Sites Hierarchy pane changes to
reflect that you are connected to a different site.
In this example, the user logged into the home site Rome Server and connected to the child Paris
Server:
Detach a site from the hierarchy
The process of detaching or removing a site from its hierarchy depends on the site you want to detach.
When you detach a site, the link between the sites are broken. If a site has child sites, it becomes the
parent site.
The detach site option is only available if a site is the child site of another site.
