About Service CORBA rules

Create a service package data instance before creating a Service CORBA rule; the name of this data instance becomes the first key part of a collection of Service CORBA rules.

A Service CORBA rule has three key parts. The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and unrelated to Process Commander class and methods, for flexibility.

For example, a service that is already exported and deployed on a client computer may be changed to call a different Process Commander activity. Because the external representation has not changed, and the IDL file hasn't changed, you do not need to redeploy and modify the application code on the client computer.
