Super Grid Libraries

A Grid Library can be declared as a Super Grid Library. This means that it is always loaded when the Engine starts up. The typical use case for this is to have an EngineHook that queries the system for some information, which is used to set EngineSession properties prior to the Engine running any tasks.

To specify that a Grid Library is a Super Grid Library, set the super attribute in the grid-library element. For example, <grid-library ... super="true" /> . Super Grid Libraries also cannot have conflicts or dependencies. Other libraries cannot depend on or conflict with them.

Super Grid Libraries are loaded upon startup before anything else. They are ignored on conflict checks for * (all).

If a new Super Grid Library is deployed while an Engine is running, it is loaded. If a new version of an existing Super Grid Library is deployed while an Engine is running, the Engine restarts.
