IBM Streams 4.2

Building applications for application sets

You can build applications for application sets in Streams Studio.

About this task

An application set project contains references to SPL applications within SPL projects in your workspace. You can conveniently build, graph, and deploy the set of applications as a single unit. The unit contains an application bundle file for each application that is added to the application set.

To build an application for use in an application set project, you must define a build configuration for a Main composite operator and make sure that the application is built. When the application is successfully built, an application bundle file is created in the output directory that is specified by the build configuration. It is best to add only active build configurations to an application set to ensure that the application set remains up-to-date when you modify the application.

You can add inactive build configurations to an application set project, but you need to manually build inactive build configurations to keep the application set up-to-date.
