Terms
- Program: When you register a program to the ISB, you are not storing any code there. You are registering its name and its communication configuration settings that are used by all instances of it. Once registered, it is assigned a unique Program ID.
- Program Instance: An installed copy of a Program. There may be many instances of the same program running at one time, on multiple machines or on one machine, by multiple users or by one user. Each program instance is uniquely identified by a Program Instance ID.
- Communication Channel: A digital contract that enables and governs message-based data exchange between instances of Linxter enabled programs. Communication channels are created only after a communication channel request is made and accepted/approved.
