Creating an application

Applications associate components with the agents that manage them, and define processes to run deployments.
The following list summarizes the basic steps that are done to create applications.
  1. Create an application and identify its components.

    After you define the application, identify the components that it manages. See Creating applications and Adding components to applications. Associating a component makes its processes and properties available to the application. An application can have any number of components.

  2. Create an environment.

    Define an environment and use it to map an agent to components. See Application environments. Mapping means assigning an agent to manage the component. Each component can be mapped to the same agent, a different one, or some combination. An application can have more than one environment.

  3. Create one or more application processes.

    Use the process design editor to create a process. See Application processes Application processes are created with the same editor used to create the component process, but uses a different toolkit of process steps. Previously defined component processes can be incorporated into the process.
