Audience for This Guide
This book assumes familiarity with the basic concepts underlying an iIS process system. A discussion of these concepts and a description of iIS process system components, the functions they perform, and how they interact with an iIS Backbone can be found in the iIS Conceptual Overview. Additionally, information about creating and defining business process for use within an iIS process system can be found in the first two chapters of the iIS Process Development Guide.
Because an iIS system is built and distributed in an iPlanet UDS environment, it is helpful to understand iPlanet UDS system management concepts. For details, see the iPlanet UDS System Management Guide.
