What is an External Resource?

Provides a general description of External Resources.

External Resources provide a common method for connecting to other resources in an enterprise including databases, Web Services, etc. External Resources are used to define connectivity and configuration information. It is useful to define these separately since connectivity and configuration information is different between systems. This allows you to easily deploy a project into a new environment because you only need to redefine the External Resource without having to edit application code.

See External Resource Reference for a complete list of External Resources available in AquaLogic BPM.

Each project in AquaLogic BPM Studio contains an External Resources directory.
