This property page lists the other Application objects to which this Application object is linked. By linking identical (or similar) Application objects whose application source files are located on servers at different sites, you can create an application site list that gives users who travel from site to site fast access to their applications while reducing WAN traffic and associated costs.
For example, users at two different sites run a spreadsheet application from servers that are local to their sites. Different Application objects are used to distribute and launch the spreadsheet application from the two servers. If you link the two Application objects, any Site1 users who travel to Site2 will be able to run the application from the Site2 server the same way they would run it from their own Site1 server. The same would be true for Site2 users who travel to Site1.
You can link to one other Application object only. However, when you do so, the first Application object is automatically linked to any other Application objects that the second Application object is linked to. For example, you have three identical Application objects (App1, App2, and App3) at three different sites. You link App1 to App2, which creates the following site lists for each of the Application objects:
App1 linked to: App2
App2 linked to: App1
App3 linked to: (nothing)
Because you can link an Application object to only one other Application object, you now need to link App3 to either App1 or App2. Doing so creates the following site list for each of the Application objects:
App1 linked to: App2, App3
App2 linked to: App1, App3
App3 linked to: App1, App2
