Application Descriptor

Creating a New Application

You can create a new application using File > New Application: this opens a new Application tab, with an empty application definition.

When you are connected to an IceGrid registry, you can also use File > New Application with Default Templates from Registry. This also opens new Application tab with a brand new application definition. This new application contains a copy of all the templates definitions contained in the IceGrid registry default template file. See IceGrid.Registry.DefaultTemplates.

Properties

The Application Properties panel offers the following fields:

• Name The name of the application. This field is not editable for live applications.
• Description A free-text description of this application.
• Variables This table shows application-level IceGrid variables.

Children

An application node can have five types of children:

• Node
• Property Set
• Replica Group
• Server Template
• Service Template
