/ConfigRecord/Module/Applications/Application

Description

The Application element defines the name of an application and includes (inline or by reference) the ApplicationDescription document that contains the configuration of the application.

You include the ApplicationDescription document using an xi:include statement.

Notice that while the description of the application in included from an ApplicationDescription document, the name of the application is supplied in the attribute of the Application element itself. This allows you to include the same application description in different systems, giving the application a different name in each.

NOTE: While the application is located within a partition in a module, applications are included in the Module document, not the Partition Description document. The partition description identifies the application that resides in the partition by referring to the name defined here in the PartitionDescription/Application element.

   

The name of the partition and the name of the application that the partition contains are not necessarily the same. For most configuration purposes, it is the name of the partition, not the name of the application, that is used to identify the application at the module level. The name of the application itself is used only to associate the application with the partition. For the sake of simplicity, you may decide to give the application and its partition the same name, however, in this documentation, the name of an application is given as my-application and the name of the partition is given as my-application-partition in order to clarify which name is used in each case.

<Module ... Name="my-module" Id="0">
 ...
 <Applications>
  <Application Name="my-application">
  </Application>
  ...
 </Applications>
 ...
</Module>
			

You specify the location of the ApplicationDescription document using an xi:include element:

<Module ... Name="my-module" Id="0">
 ...
 <Applications>
  <Application Name="my-application">
   <xi:include href="my-ApplicationDescription.xml"/>
  </Application>
  ...
 </Applications>
 ...
</Module>
