Analysis Path Framework (APF) provides reuse components that allow building and enhancing interactive and easy-to-use analytical Web applications. You can use these applications to explore important KPIs and their influencing factors by drilling down into multidimensional representations of data, such as charts or tables.

APF provides the following features:

  • Reusable UI elements to depict the data in a visually appealing way, for example, a predefined layout and various different chart types.

  • Use of OData service requests to expose the data in the underlying server, for example, SAP HANA Extended Application Services (SAP HANA XS). Using OData makes APF independent of the server and database technology used.

  • Configuration files to build, adapt, and enhance your application without programming or having to modify the source code.

  • The logic for controlling the behavior of your application, even for complex analysis scenarios where you filter data, for example.

  • A message handling concept that can be adapted as required.

  • A persistence concept for analysis paths that allows you to save paths under a name and to retrieve them from the server.
