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.
