What is the site?
A site describes an individual installation of Teamcenter and comprises a single database. all users accessing that database any additional non-Teamcenter resources such as hardware, networking capabilities, and third-party software applications (tools) required to implement Teamcenter at the site.

- Both the site name and ID must be unique.

- The site name is also used internally and is stored in the database as a user-defined character string.
- To share data among sites, each Teamcenter database must store a definition of all of the sites in your enterprise.
- Site names are generated automatically at the time of installation but it can be modified
Alert :
Never change the site ID of a database after it is established. The site ID
is used to generate internal identifiers for Teamcenter objects that must be unique throughout your enterprise. Never reuse a site ID when creating a new database. For this reason,
never use the database's import and export functions to replicate a database; always use Teamcenter import and export capabilities.
