You use this activity to create and modify site records (see Site).
Before you can start using the system, you must create at least one site. The system creates the * (global) site automatically during the installation. To create new sites, you must log on to the *
site.
Each site operates independently and maintains its own elements such as materials, BOMs, and routings.
You can transfer these elements to other sites with Site-to-Site Transfer (see Site-to-Site Transfers). When you use site-to-site transfer between sites that are not in the same database, you create a site record in the source database to tell the system about the destination site.
This activity allows you to do the following:
Add new default values for a site
Create a transfer site
Set up activity hooks for a site (see Setting Up Activity Hooks and Site Level Hook Points)
