ApShell Sample Application Set 
You use the ApShell application set to build your own application sets.
Because it is a shell, it needs to be populated with publications and reports to become a fully functioning application set. ApShell does not contain any data except Time dimension information, and has only a limited amount of master data in the form of dimension members. The dimension master data is limited to default members in most dimensions so the application set works when an administrative task is run.
When you install a new version of Planning and Consolidation, ApShell and its components are overwritten.
Caution
You must not modify ApShell.
Features
ApShell contains the following components needed to build a functioning application set:
Two sample applications — Planning and Rate — that contain most of the functionality you need to start building your own application set (see Planning Sample Application and Rate Sample Application).
If you need to build more complex application sets, for example, for legal reporting, consolidation, or ownership, you can build an application using the components included within ApShell.
A set of dynamic EvDRE-based report and input schedule templates (see Dynamic Report and Input Schedule Templates)
Data Manager packages
Blank Content Library and Live reports
Required administration setup parameters
All required dimensions with the properties needed to create a basic planning and consolidation application set
