An isolated region is a logical subdivision of the workflow
system. Isolated regions are often used to separate development, testing, and production
environments such that developers and testers can share computing resources while still keeping
their disparate activities isolated. An isolated region consists of queues, rosters, and event
logs.
An isolated region is identified by one or more connection points. Information that
is common to all regions in the workflow system is contained in the workflow system properties.
You can initialize or delete an isolated region. In addition, you can delete the workflow system. Typically, these activities are performed only in a development environment.
