Multiple Entity Support
Starting with ASAPX Release 2, you describe applications using the ASAP Entity
Definition Language (EDL). Many configuration settings previously set with the ASAPX
configuration file are now set in EDL. Each application or part of an application is
defined as an ASAP entity using EDL.
Develop EDL to describe each application. Unlike ASAPX Release 1, in which all
applications share a common attribute set, the EDL defines unique DataItems and
metrics (EDL attributes). You also use EDL to define other application-specific
information, such as commands used by the ASAP Client.
A default defined entity called APP is provided with ASAPX Release 2 for compatibility
with Release 1. The default APP entity does not define any DataItems or metrics. Once
you develop custom EDL files, turn off the APP entity in all ASAP Client sessions.
The first part of a domain name registered with ASAPX Release 2 must be the name of
an EDL-defined entity. If it is not, the default APP entity is applied to that domain.
