A software domain is a system or subsystem where target software runs. All software tracking mechanisms described in this chapter work individually in each software domain without affecting each other. If a configuration contains two hardware subsystems that run different software instances, there will be two separate software trackers, each one tracking the software in one of the two subsystems.
For most configurations, an os_awareness object that defines the software domain will be placed in each top-level system object, in its software slot. For some complex configurations it is possible to define software domains differently by placing the os_awareness object elsewhere in the object hierarchy, or by configuring it to use a subset of the available processors.
See the Model Builder User's Guide for more information about software domains.
