Types of Applications
The network requires a variety of applications to support call processing applications.
The application itself, plus its configuration parameters, determine the role an
application plays in this process. Although some configuration parameters can be
defined within an application’s executable file (*.vex), each executable file is
associated with a configuration file (*.acfg), which defines configuration
parameters.
Initially, an application is configured as either Main, Linked or VXML.
Application Type Description
Main
• Copied to the component, assigned to lines, and performs
specific call processing or administrative functions.
• Can link to other applications for interim processing functions.
• Defined by Execution Type and other configuration parameters.
Linked
• Copied to the component, but not assigned to phone lines, and
performs interim functions that can be shared among main
applications.
• Must be assigned to the component before the main
application(s), which links to it, begins to execute. Files must
remain on the component until the last occurrence of a main
application, that links to it, is un-assigned.
• Identified by the link icon that displays alongside the
application’s name in APPMAN windows (when applicable).
• No additional configuration options apply.
VXML • Copied to the component, assigned to lines, and performs
specific call processing or administrative functions.
• Can link to other applications for interim processing functions.
• Defined by Execution Type and other configuration parameters.
Main applications are configured as either Call Processing or Administrative.
Execution Type Description
Call Processing Main applications, which perform call processing functions.
Administrative
• Main applications, which perform system maintenance
functions and act to support call processing applications.
• Can be configured as initialization applications.
Initialization
• Main, administrative applications that perform initialization
functions, some of which can be prerequisite to other
application processing.
• Assigned and execute completely before other applications are
assigned. (Only executes once)
• Identified by the initialization icon that displays alongside the
application’s name in Application Manager windows.
