The Web Integrations -> Applications and Licenses administration page allows for the configuration of application servers or targets and to view overall license usage.

The Applications tab also allows for the creation of PIM / application specific channels except it's recommended to do this from the Provisioning -> Content Management administration page instead for channel content that is to be provisioned.


Applications

The Manage Applications tool is found in the virtual directory at /system/pim/Manage Applications. For most Administrators, it is also conveniently available as the Applications & Licenses channel in the default view-set, under the Web Integrations tab.

Applications & Licenses administration page


Manage Application Tools Layout


The initial screen displays all currently registered Applications and allows registration of new Applications by clicking the new button. Right-clicking on a registered Application displays a menu to modify and delete Applications and a list of Channel Builders for creating Application specific Channels. The central panel of the Manage Applications tool lists the currently registered applications. The columns are:

  • Name: The string name given to the Application upon creation.
  • PIM Package: The PIM Package name. For instance, "compx.reports_pimA".
  • PIM Version: The PIM version number.
  • Supported Applications: The application(s) that a particular PIM Package supports.
  • Host: The server address on which the Application is running.
  • Port: The port on which the Application is listening.
  • Enabled: Whether or not the Application is enabled (Yes or No). This controls whether a license session should be currently provisioned for this application.
