For the listed configurators, information such as Name, Icon, Description, Link to Crossroads
application page, Compatibility (Switch version), Compatibility (3rd party version and flavor),
Status (installed, installed and up-to-date, not installed) are displayed.
Before installing a configurator from this tab, Switch checks if Switch version and configurator
are compatible.
Detecting third-party applications
Each Switch configurator implements one or more mechanisms to detect the presence of the
corresponding third-party application.
Often the application is automatically detected when Switch is launched, however in some cases
manual intervention is required.
Detection feedback
As long as its third-party application is not successfully detected, a configurator's icon is
grayed-out (as shown below) in the elements pane and in the canvas. A grayed-out configurator
can be used in a flow design as usual, but the flow cannot be activated.
Missing elements
The export – import mechanism at the end of an installation procedure can result in broken
flows with missing elements. Also starting from Switch 10, configurators can be deleted easily
which might also result in missing elements.
Therefore, to avoid this, missing elements and the connection to and from it are not removed.
Instead a question mark (?) appears on their icon at the upper right corner. When hovering over
such element, the tool tip displays the meessage WARNING: the flow element cannot be
found by Switch.
It is possible to start the flow again by adding back element to Switch.
Automatic detection at startup
When the Switch server starts, it attempts to detect the third-party application using fast
mechanisms (such as querying the operating system registry or checking the default application
path). To limit startup time, Switch does not perform a full file search during startup.
