Defining Application Sites

A site specifies target information for a promotion process or an install process. A site may be local or remote.

Site Description
**Local Site A target that is on the same LPAR as the development ChangeMan ZMF instance. A target on a different LPAR from the ChangeMan ZMF instance can be defined as a local site if it shares DASD and catalogs with the ChangeMan ZMF development LPAR, and no Db2 binds are required.
**Remote Site A target that is on a different LPAR than the development ChangeMan ZMF instance that does not share DASD and catalogs, or that requires Db2 binds.

Sites are defined in global administration. Application Administrators select sites for an application from those global definitions.

You must define an application site for each production ChangeMan ZMF environment that is a target for installs. Every promotion level definition must include a site.
