Applications

The application tab gives a list of the applications that are defined in the system. 



  When an application is selected and Add, Edit, or Copy is clicked, the following edit window appears.

 

In the header the application name to use, a description and the application kind can be entered. The application name should be in capitals exactly as it is used in the AMT Developer. 

The application kind should be set to Lion and the Mainframe OS where the application was migrated from for a AMT application.
This can also be found under 'Application Origin' in the Application options of the application in AMT Developer Studio.

Changes to any application setting will take effect after the application servers and managers have been restarted.
