Manage InTouch applications using the System Platform IDE

You can manage your InTouch applications using the IDE. The following procedure shows you how to do this in a general way. For more specific information, see Manage InTouch applications with the IDE.

The InTouch functionality in the System Platform IDE is handled by two AutomationObjects:

• The InTouchViewApp object represents an InTouch application at design time and run time.

• The ViewEngine object controls how an InTouch application runs on a target node in a Galaxy.

The following diagram shows how InTouch applications are managed using the System Platform IDE:
