Publishing an Application to CentraSite

ApplinX enables publishing an ApplinX application to CentraSite ActiveSOA. The published application will include the ApplinX assets: the Server, application, host, screens, screen groups, screen images, path and flow procedures, procedure groups, external web services and program procedures and the connections ("Associations") between them. The ApplinX assets will then be available to other CentraSite users for impact analysis.

In order to use this feature, ensure that you have a CentraSite license and ensure that the ApplinX and CentraSite are of the same webMethods suite version. CentraSite must be installed on the same machine as the ApplinX server.
