INSTANCE SERVICES 

The Instance Services provides users with the ability to restart the Aspect Control Engine for the instance 

they are working with. Only one option is available in the Instance Services drop-down which will allow 

the instance to be reset. 

 

 
 

 
 
 

PERSISTENCE MANAGER 

The Persistence Manager area is used to manage and delete Persisted data. Persisted data is localized 

data stored from Persisted Elements that may be present in an Aspect project, as well as data persisted 

by vSTAT elements when such functionality is implemented in a delivered solution.
