Enhancing a Configuration with a Component-Defined AdaptationLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

If the built-in functions do not suffice for your application case, you can enhance the configuration with a function that is then displayed in the component configuration in a separate area under Component-Defined.

Procedure

  1. To make data available for the configuration, create a configuration controller and specify the data structure in the context. This data structure is then available in the component configuration.

    For more information: Creating Configuration Controllers

  2. If you want to make this data available to personalization too, create a View for it.

Example

Your system contains a package called SWDP_TEST with an example component called WDR_TEST_PERS_IMP_EXP.

The last column in a simple flight table displays one of three note symbols: A red circle, a yellow triangle, or a green square, depending on the occupancy level of the flight. The value defining the occupancy level at which the system should switch from one reference symbol to the next can be configured by the application developer. For this purpose, the two attributes CONFIG_LOW and CONFIG_HIGH were created in the configuration controller context of this component. These two attributes set the value limit defining the occupancy with a symbol for low (green square) and for high (red circle). If the occupancy level is between the values, a yellow triangle will appear in the table.

The logic to evaluate the attributes is inserted into method WDDOINIT of the component controller.

The figure below shows the settings window of this example application with the embedded personalization view and a view for the personalization of the component-defined data:
