VulCon
Introduction
VulCon is a graphical console that helps the users to design and configure GreenVulcano® ESB business flows. It's an Eclipse plug-in.
The actors involved in GreenVulcano® ESB business flows implementation are:

Otherwise, if you already know the user interface, you may want to design and configure your VulCon first flow. Once implemented your business flow you may visit the VulCon deploy, and to test it you must use GV Console® deploy. If you have an existing VulCon project you can import it. To manage the life cycle of your application you can use HP Systinet.
