Analysis Path Framework (APF) is a JavaScript component that can be used as a foundation for creating analytical Web applications. APF has a public API that supports the following:

  • Building a Web application by using predefined UI elements

  • Configuring the Web application

  • Creating and processing analysis paths

  • Displaying data, for example, in interactive charts

  • Interaction between UI and path processing

  • Error handling

  • Interaction with the server using OData services

  • Saving analysis paths on the server

APF consists of the following subcomponents:

  • The core component sap.apf.core

  • The UI component sap.apf.ui

  • The layout component sap.apf.layout

The sap.apf.core component can be used independently of the other components. The sap.apf.ui component and the sap.apf.layout component depend on the sap.apf.core component. The sap.apf.layout component depends on the sap.apf.ui component.

The overall architecture of APF is depicted in the following figure:
