Adding Reusable Base Parameters
An Application Service can contain several root resources, each with its own set of input and output parameters. Use the Base Parameters page to define a set of parameters that can be reused for any root resource input or output parameters.
Base parameters can also be added directly from the Parameters page when the Application Service method is defined. See Adding Input and Output Parameters.
