Digital Service application architecture

BMC Helix Innovation Studio, a part of BMC Helix Innovation Suite helps you to build your own applications with the help of different designer consoles, deploy them for the end users of these applications, and manage or configure them.

Digital Service application architecture is based on the standard model, which provides the following services:

  • Services that can be used from Java code
  • Services that can be called using a REST-style HTTP interface
  • Clients that consume these services through HTTP

Application and library

Libraries are the building blocks of an application. An application consists of a set of libraries that are defined in a bundle.

A library is a collection of application components such as application services, record definitions, view components, field types, rules types, and so on.

The Digital Service application or library that you develop by using BMC Helix Innovation Studio is packaged as a smart bundle. The smart bundle is used to deploy or install software to the BMC Helix Innovation Studio.
