Preface
To help users gain a better understanding of our product the OpenClovis Evaluation System User Guide introduces sample applications that utilise the OpenClovis Application Services Platform (SAFplus Platform). It provides all the required information to configure and run the sample applications (or "models") packaged within the Evaluation System. This document also provides a good understanding of OpenClovis SAFplus Platform functionality.
This document does not cover the creation of the models through the OpenClovis IDE. For a detailed description of how to create the first example model in the OpenClovis IDE see the OpenClovis Sample Application Tutorial document.
Audience
The OpenClovis Evaluation System User Guide is intended for individuals who wish to gain an understanding of the OpenClovis SAFplus Platform. If you wish to run this Evaluation System this document assumes you have installed the OpenClovis SAFplus Platform by following the installation steps found within the OpenClovis Installation Guide.

Definitions
Throughout this document the term "node" is used generically to refer to either a PC, laptop or ATCA blade. Several nodes all running the OpenClovis SAFplus Platform combine to form one tightly coupled distributed computing environment called a "cluster". The number and configuration of these nodes and the applications that are running on them together form the "system model", or just "model". In summary the term "SAFplus Platform" denotes the common OpenClovis programs and libraries running on all nodes in the cluster, while the term "model" denotes all of the user applications.
