37.7 Creating an Application Chain

Application chains that consist of only two levels, as shown in the following illustration, are created by simply adding the dependent applications (B, C, and D) to the dependencies list for the primary application (A). For instructions, see Section 37.4, Adding an Application Dependency.

Figure 37-6 A Two-Level Application Chain

Application chains that consist of more than two levels, as shown in the following illustration, require you to configure dependencies at each level.

Figure 37-7 A Three-Level Application Chain

For example, to create the application chain shown in the above illustration, you would do the following:

  1. In the Application object for Application B, add Application B1 and B2 as dependent applications.

  2. In the Application object for Application A, add Application B, Application C, and Application D as dependent applications.

For information about adding applications as dependent applications, see Section 37.4, Adding an Application Dependency.
