Concepts

iFlowKit Core introduces a small set of concepts that make CPI projects easier to structure, review and evolve.

Core concepts

Concept	Purpose
Package	A CPI-oriented unit that can be built into a single JAR.
Manifest	The package-level package.json that declares systems, services, plugins and credentials.
Plugin	A reusable Groovy library that packages can include and configure.
System catalog	A reusable system definition and service asset structure.
Tenant	Environment-specific runtime configuration such as DEV, QAS or PRD.
SAP stubs	Local compile-time substitutes for CPI-provided classes.
