What is a Process Deployment Descriptor?

A Process Deployment Descriptor (.pdd) file describes the information required for a process to execute in the ActiveVOS server environment. This information includes partner link details, persistence and versioning information, process directives and indexed properties as well as other details.

The following table shows basic parts of the .pdd file and lists topics for detail.
