Glossary

App

App is an instance created with previously specified App Template. Apps can have their own varying configuration which is inherited during creation from its App Template. It is code that is actually run in ProconTEL 4.

App Template

App Template is the blueprint for creating Apps inside ProconTEL 4. With this blueprint we can create instances of our App inside our framework. One blueprint can be used to create unlimited amount of Apps which realize logic implemented in a template.

Communication diagram

Component which allows to graphically represent all App instances and their connections.

Minimal API

Basic interface for creating ProconTEL 4 App which leverages static ProconTelApp builder. Created for user-friendly experience.

Scheduled job

Scheduled jobs allow users to perform business logic with certain frequency. Scheduled jobs can be run in ProconTEL 4 by inheriting IScheduledJob interface from SDK. Scheduled job interface comes with extensions methods to easily determine how frequent your App logic should be invoked.

SDK

ProconTEL 4 SDK which is available at https://nexus.macrix.eu/repository/pct2022. It exposes interfaces and extension methods required to create App Templates running in underlying framework implementation.

Standard API

More advanced interface for creating ProconTEL 4 App which leverages classic ASP.NET services registration approach. Created for ASP.NET-seasoned developers.

Workspace

Workspace can be treated as container in which everything happens. Workspaces are needed to create Apps and display its correlated communication diagram.
