Add custom application to Toolpack OAM

Toolpack OAM is able to automatically launch/monitor/relaunch applications (this includes Toolpack's own applications, and also custom applications).

In order to be managed by Toolpack OAM, an application needs to:

• Create instances of classes CTBCAFServiceAlmMgmt (and optionally CTBCAFServiceCmMgmtClient)
• Be added to the list of managed applications in the Web Portal

The list of applications that are launched and managed by Toolpack OAM is found in the Toolpack Web Portal, under sections:

• Applications -> Configurations
• Applications -> Instances

Steps to add an new applications are:

• Create a new Application Configuration
  • Go to Applications -> Configurations
  • Click "Create New Application Config"
  • Fill appropriate information
    • Name of this application's configuration
    • Path of the binary file to launch (some variables can be used here for convenience)
    • Working directory
    • Command-line arguments
• Create a new Application Instance
  • Go to Applications -> Instances
  • Click "Create New Application Instance"
  • Fill appropriate information
    • Name for this application instance
    • Host the application should be running on
