Hi A., and all,

- Why so many '!define'?
- Where do your code come from?

Looks like the continuation characters are missing in the define statements.

So:

!define WEB_SERVER [Web Server] <<Server>> {
    [Nurse Management Application (Web)] <<Component>>
    [Application Server] <<Component>>
}

should be:

!define WEB_SERVER [Web Server] <<Server>> { \
    [Nurse Management Application (Web)] <<Component>> \
    [Application Server] <<Component>> \
}

Note see also the Migration notes in https://plantuml.com/preprocessing (regarding not using !define)
