Using APF, you can configure your application as required.

An application based on APF can be configured without programming or modifying the source code. Instead, you have the following options to configure your application:

  • The application configuration file, which defines static information about the application.

  • The analytical content configuration file, which defines the content of the application and how it is represented on the user interface.

The configuration options include the following tasks:

  • Changing the analytical content configuration file

    Note Note

    When you want to change the analytical content configuration file, you must first make a copy and save it to a new location.

    End of the note.

    Some possible changes to the analytical content configuration file are:

    • You can change a request, which defines the access to a server resource.

    • You can change the relation between the requested data and the representations by adapting the binding.

    • You can add a category for the analysis step gallery.

    • You can add new analysis steps or adapt existing ones, for example, by replacing the request or the binding for a step.

  • Changing text resource files

    Note Note

    When you want to change a text resource file, you must first make a copy and save it under a new location.

    End of the note.

  • Changing the application configuration file

    Whenever you have changed the analytical content configuration file or text resource files and have copied the files to a new location, you must ensure that the locations are adapted accordingly in the application configuration file.

The configuration options are explained in detail in the following sections.
