Note
The composite subapplication graph is available only for applications with controller objects.
When the configuration includes a controller object, the full graph of the node (or of either application) shows the parent and child applications in separate branches.
Figure 6.20 Standard view of configuration with controlled application
In some cases, it is convenient to view the child application as a resource of the parent so they both appear in the same branch. This is called a composite subapplication graph.
To view a composite subapplication graph, right-click on the parent application and select View Composite Subapplication Graph from the context menu.
Figure 6.21 Viewing an RMS composite subapplication graph
The composite subapplication graph is a type of the subapplication graphs and used when applications to be controlled exist. For every controller object in the subapplication graph, the graph of its controlled application is inserted with a dotted line connection to the parent controller. For example, note where app1 appears in the composite subapplication graph in the figure shown below, and compare this to the standard graph shown earlier in "Figure 6.20 Standard view of configuration with controlled application."
Figure 6.22 Typical composite subapplication graph
If the controlled application has its own controller objects, then the process is recursively repeated. This gives a composite view of all the subapplications that the selected parent application depends on, whether directly or indirectly.
