You can edit the information of a business-level application such as its description. A business-level application is an administrative model that captures the entire definition of an enterprise-level application.
This task assumes a basic familiarity with command framework programming. Read about command framework programming in the application programming interfaces documentation.
Before you can edit a business-level application, you must have created a business-level application.
You can edit a business-level application using programming, the administrative console, or the wsadmin tool.
You must provide the blaID parameter to specify the business-level application that you are editing.
Perform the following tasks to edit a business-level application using programming.
After you successfully run the code, the business-level application is edited.
The following example shows how to edit a business-level application based on the previous steps. Some statements are split on multiple lines for printing purposes.

After you edit the business-level application, you can continue administration of business-level applications. You can do such things as start and stop a business-level application, delete a business-level application, add a composition unit to a business-level application, and so on.
