  3. Choose Integration Controls to display the list of controls used for integrating applications.
  4. Choose ApplicationView to display the Insert ApplicationView dialog.
  5. In the Variable name for this control field, type the variable name used to access the existing Application View control instance from your business process. The name you enter must be a valid Java identifier.
  6. In the Step 2 pane, choose the Use an ApplicationView control already defined by a JCX file radio button.
