Remarks

The following information is included in the Application class:

• Administrator properties used by the Configuration Manager administrator to identify and categorize the application in the Configuration Manager Administrator Console.

• Localized information and metadata shown to the end-user in the Software Center and the Application Catalog.

• List of the deployment types that belong to this application.

• The package properties.

The application is the smallest deployment unit in Configuration Manager. Each application can contain one or more deployment types. However, only one deployment type can be applied to a client.The deployment type that is applied to the client depends on the following:

• The priority of the deployment type. Higher priority deployment types are installed over lower priority deployment types.

• Host technology requirements of the deployment type. Deployment types that meet the host technology requirements are installed over deployment types that do not meet the host technology requirements.

• The actual requirements of the specific deployment types. Only deployment types that meet the requirements can be applied to the client.

The highest priority deployment type which meets all the requirements will be installed.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
