Then applicationDefine Method

Define application to the server or cluster. This process is asynchronous – the initial request will wait until the application is defined, and the initial response will show information about the application being defined – however the staging and activation process will proceed after the response is returned. The user is expected to continue checking the application status using the applicationGetStatus method until the deployment process is complete.
