Remarks

The fabric calls the Intialize method to start the role. If the fabric is able to start the role successfully, Intialize returns True. If the fabric is not able to start the role, Initialize returns False.

The Initialize method calls the Start method to start the role, and waits for the Start method to return. When the Start method returns, the role is restarted.
