To register an alias, specify the alias name (same as the process name) and the name of the engine executing the process definition. See “Registering Aliases” on page 148.
Registering iIS Distributions
Process definitions, assignment rule dictionaries, user profiles, and validations are all registered using the same procedure. Each of these types of library distributions, however, has unique registration characteristics, as described briefly below:
User Profile A user profile must be registered with every engine. The user profile is used along with the validation to authenticate users who attempt to open sessions with the engine. The user profile is also used by assignment rules in determining who has permission to perform activities. You can register more than one user profile with each engine, but this is normally done only for upgrade purposes. Each user profile registered with an engine must be uniquely named. (An upgraded validation and upgraded assignment rule dictionary, consistent with the upgraded user profile, must also be
Validation One, and only one, validation can be registered with an engine, which allows the engine to open sessions with client applications. Unlike process definitions, assignment rule dictionaries, and user profiles, there can be only one validation registered with an engine at any time. Subsequent registrations replace the existing validation with a new one (implicitly unregistering the old one).
Assignment Rule Dictionary If a process definition references an assignment rule, the dictionary that contains that assignment rule must be registered. Generally, designers group assignment rules into dictionaries containing more than one assignment rule and then generate library distributions containing all the assignment rules in the dictionary. When you register an assignment rule dictionary with an engine, you have registered all the assignment rules contained in the dictionary. The engine uses only the most recently registered assignment rule, retroactively applying it to all existing activities.
