Objective

The registry contains information about the environment that the service/daemon is running in.
Once you finish your code, you need to deploy this service and then push your changes to other environments.
SOAJS provides the ability to configure and modify the registry using the SOAJS Console Interface.
Once configured, all you need to do is send the name of the registry using an environment variable and start your SOAJS service as any normal NodeJS script ( Manual Deployment ).
If you deployed SOAJS as Local or Remote Cloud using the SOAJS Installer, then simply use the UI Wizard of deploy new service under Deploy Pillar.
