A location is a geographical place, such as a city, country, or some other region. A location can also identify the purpose of a computer involved in a Global Workshare Configuration, such as Host, Satellite1, or Satellite2. The location can be any string identifier that represents an informative name for the location. Data is typically transferred between workshare locations consisting of a host and its various satellites.

Unlike permission group objects that are available only to the given model database, the location object is a site-wide object. After a location is created, it is available to any model in the site.

New Location is not available at satellite locations. New locations can only be created at the host.

  1. Click Database > New > Location to open the New Location Dialog.

  2. Type a name for the location.

  3. In the Site server list, select the site server for the new location. For SQL Server databases, only those servers that are registered through SQL Server on the Host computer are available.

  4. In the Name rule ID text box, modify the name rule if necessary. The Name rule ID is useful in determining which location placed a specific item in the model.

  • By default, the value in the Name rule ID field is identical to the value of the LocationID. The LocationID is an integer generated by the software. Because the Host site is created first, its value is 1. The first Satellite location created is given a value of 2, and so on.

  • After a location is created, its properties cannot be modified and can only be deleted when the Global Workshare is not active.

  • Project administrators manage all Satellite creation and administration from the Host location and use permission groups to determine access for both Host and Satellite locations. See Work with permission groups and Global Workshare for information on setting up permissions for your data.
