If you create a new site without using an existing database, after the new site is
created, you must specify the location of the new site's schema file in the site's
SiteSchemaLocation property.
-
Select the Settings node under the new site and edit the SiteSchemaLocation property.
-
In the Properties dialog box, type or browse to the path of the efschema.cmf file for this site and click OK.
The default location for the delivered SmartPlant schema CMF file and folder structure is <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intergraph\EFSchema.
-
If multiple sites share the same SmartPlant schema file, then any changes that you make to the shared schema file will affect every site. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you make a copy of the delivered SmartPlant schema folder for each site. Store each customized folder within the site folder, for example, <drive>:\SmartPlant Foundation Server Files\Web_Sites\<site_name>\EFSchema.
-
The folders containing the customized schema files must be shared with Read-only access. The path to these files can be either a path to a location on the local computer or a UNC path to a location on a remote computer.
