External Applications

Figure 11 External Application Icon

External applications are logical representations of external software applications that are being integrated by the Java CAPS system. These are linked to a Service by means of an adapter. Clicking the drop-down arrow beside the external application icon in the Connectivity Map Editor presents a menu showing those applications corresponding to adapters that you have installed, plus the Scheduler. Selecting an individual external application adds that icon to the toolbar. The default set of external applications is shown in the following figure.

Right-clicking the External Application under the Projects window displays its context menu. See Project Component Context Menu for a list of menu options, and the individual adapter topics for additional information.
