// Get a RuleAppRef object which will contain details about the rule app we are loading
RuleAppRef ruleAppRef = connection.GetRuleAppRef("InvoiceApp");

// Load the RuleApplicationDef from the repository, specifying the GUID and Revision
// This can be retrieved by name or GUID, with option to specify label and revision
RuleApplicationDef ruleAppDef = connection.GetSpecificRuleAppRevision(ruleAppRef.Guid,
