Aura make-up processes
The current section describes the make-up processes that take place within Aura
Introduction
Make-up is a set of operations to prepare an environment once a module has been deployed, but before it starts. There is a different make-up job per module, that executes the operations needed before the module starts. The operations that a make-up process can perform are the following, although not all modules have to perform all these tasks.

The current document includes general definitions needed to understand this process.
-
The make-up specific processes for each module are specified in its corresponding document:

General definitions
Load External Libraries
This process is in charge of loading external modules, called libraries, which contain their own resources, locale, environment variables, code.
Manage MongoDB Indexes
Indexes in MongoDB are managed by a module called Make-up Index Manager documentation.
It relies on a versioned index configuration file to apply the indexes. Only those indexes whose version has not been applied before will be applied. The configuration file can be loaded from a remote repository. By default, all components with MongoDB access have one index configuration file.
There is a tool within each module called makeup-cli to run the make-up process as a stand-alone task.
Prepare Locale Resources
This process is responsible for collecting all the language resources and uploading them to a remote repository, so that they can be changed on the fly if necessary.
If external libraries have been loaded, this process unifies the language resources. See Locale Manager Documentation.
Set Environment Variables
This process is executed when the module loads external libraries that contain its own environment variables, unifying all these environment variables in a single file.
Prepare Remote Channel Config
It is responsible for unifying the different configurations assigned by each external library to the channels.
Process Resources
This process manages the different resources of each external library and promotes them so that they are accessible when the main program is running.
