Configuring and Adapting Visual Composer Applications 
This process enables a modeler to change an application modeled in Visual Composer to meet a customer's specific requirements, including substituting data services and modifying the UI as needed.
Use of the Process
This process is part of the following IT scenario:
IT Scenario |
Scenario Variant |
|---|---|
Prerequisites
The application to be configured and/or adapted has been modeled in Visual Composer.
Process
The steps of this IT process include:
Define systems and aliases
For modeling a new application or adapting an existing one, the system administrator configures the required connections to back-end systems by creating systems in the portal's System Landscape Editor.
Personalize the application as needed
Each modeled application that has been deployed to the portal can be adapted to the runtime user's personal specifications as needed.
Reconfigure/change the application if necessary
The modeler can open the application in Visual Composer (accessed either from the portal or directly in Visual Composer Storyboard) and make changes to the model, including changing and/or adding data services, changing specifications of UI elements and adding other model components.
Redeploy to Portal
Once the changes have been made, the modeler tests the application as describes in the previous process (Testing and Deploying Visual Composer Applications) and the redeploys the adapted application to the portal.
Redefine pages and roles
The portal system administrator updates the assignments of the application to portal pages and roles.
