134 .SH "DEFINING APPLICATIONS"
136 An application is defined in
141 define application\-tool $appconfigname {
143 property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
147 and then referenced in a dumptype as
150 define dumptype $dumptypename {
152 program "APPLICATION"
153 application "$appconfigname"
157 Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are insensitive to case, and
161 (underscore) may be used interchangeably\&.
