Creating or modifying a Business Application

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
You can use the Management Server console to create or modify a Business Application. A Business Application is a collection of objects within InfoScale Operations Manager that constitutes a unit of management. The objects can be of different types.
You can create multiple Business Applications in the data center.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
