Application Instance Definitions

Application instance definitions configure the implementation of endpoints for process instances of an application.

Structurally, an application instance definition consists of a name, a set of match parameters, and a set of connectors to implement each endpoint.

To add an application instance definition, see Applications Grid.

Each application instance definition has two tasks with respect to implementing endpoints:

  • Statically specify a configuration that satisfies all of the program’s endpoint and ability requirements.

    The set of connectors configures the implementation of endpoints, accomplishing this task.

  • Dynamically determine a set of process instances that satisfy their requirements according to that configuration.

    The match parameters determine the set of process instances, accomplishing this task.
