N1 Grid Service Provisioning System User's Guide and Release Notes for the WebLogic 8 Plug-In 1.0

Plug-In Conventions

The provisioning system enables you to provision and manage applications.

Plans and Component Procedures

The WebLogic 8 plug-in provides both plans and component procedures as tools for you to perform tasks. By using plans, you link directly to the functionality you desire. Using component procedures, you have a greater number of tasks that you can perform.

Task Names

The WebLogic8 plug-in organizes tasks in four categories: application tasks, infrastructure tasks, configuration tasks, and advanced tasks. These task categories follow the same convention for describing the task that you need to perform.
