Prepare to deploy a ViewApp: assign a ViewApp to an engine

Once you are ready to deploy a ViewApp, you must assign the derived ViewApp template to the ViewEngine or WebViewEngine that it will run on. This creates an instance from the derived template and assigns the instance to the ViewEngine or WebViewEngine.

To make a ViewApp available to users from the desktop client, assign it to a ViewEngine. These ViewApps are started from the Application Manager.

To make a ViewApp available to users using the OMI web client in a web browser, assign it to a WebViewEngine.

If you want a VIewApp to be available from both the Application Manager and the OMI web client, assign the derived template to both a ViewEngine and a WebViewEngine. This creates two instances of the ViewApp, one running on each engine.
