Creating business-level applications

You can create an empty business-level application and then add assets, shared libraries, business-level applications, and other artifacts as composition units to the empty business-level application.

Before you begin

Configure each target application server as needed. You must deploy a business-level application to a Version 7.0 server or cluster.

Optionally, determine what assets or other files that you want to add to your business-level application and whether your application files can run on your deployment targets.
