Root Application
A root application is the application that includes other applications. During development, a root application can include other applications either from the database or from image files. During deployment, included applications must exist in image files, either in separate files or within the same image file as the root application.
You specify included application references in the Included Applications portlet for the root application. For more information about this window, see
Specify Included Applications.
Each included application reference has the following format:
appname [version_number] [image_filename]
Definitions of these parameters follow:
appname
Specifies the name of the application to be included
version_number
Specifies the version of the application to be included. If not specified, the current working version is used.
image_filename
Specifies the name of the image file containing the application to be included. If the application is included from the database instead of an image file, this parameter is omitted.
