Work with the Business Logic Tier (BLT) host applications

Business Logic Tier (BLT) components run under the BLTHost applications, which are collections of components that are hosted by the same process.

Each BLT application is started by a script that runs when the associated service is started. Each application will automatically load the required dynamic-link library (DLL) at run-time to execute a given component.

This architecture allows BLT components to be grouped together in a single application or split into multiple applications. Depending on your scalability needs, or for debugging purposes, you may want to install all your components in one application (standard) or use multiple applications.

The hosting process is called the BLTHost.exe and is executed with a parameter that defines the BLTHost application name.
