Audience for This Guide
This book assumes familiarity with the basic concepts underlying an iIS process
system. A discussion of these concepts and a description of iIS process system
components, the functions they perform, and how they interact with an iIS
Backbone can be found in the iIS Conceptual Overview. Additionally, information
about creating and defining business process for use within an iIS process system
can be found in the first two chapters of the iIS Process Development Guide.
Because an iIS system is built and distributed in an iPlanet UDS environment, it is
helpful to understand iPlanet UDS system management concepts. For details, see
the iPlanet UDS System Management Guide.
