Application Viewer Generation
The Application Viewer is initially delivered with service XML information only.
The other components of the application viewer are generated on site.
• Use the background process F1-AVALG to regenerate algorithm information
• Use the background process F1-AVBT to regenerate batch control information.
• Use the background process F1-AVMO to regenerate maintenance object information
• Use the background process F1-AVTBL to regenerate data dictionary information.
• Use the background process F1-AVTD to regenerate To Do type information.
These processes have been introduced so that you can more easily incorporate your implementation-specific information into the application viewer.
To keep the information shown in the application viewer current it is important to execute these background processes after you introduce changes to the corresponding system data.
Note:Data Generation Is Not Incremental. Each new execution of these processes first deletes existing data (if any) in the corresponding folder before it generates new data.
Note:Other Extensions. Service XML may also be extended to include implementation-specific information. The base package is provided with special scripts that handle this type of extension. Refer to the Software Development Kit User Guide for further information on application viewer extensions.
Note:War File. If your application is installed in war file format, each generation of application viewer data rebuilds the corresponding war file. The web application server then needs to be "bounced" in order to make the newly generated data available to the application viewer. Please consult your system administrator for assistance.
Note:Certain Web Application Servers Are Special. WebSphere and Oracle Application web application servers require an additional step in order to make the newly generated data available to the application viewer. These web application servers require a rebuild of the application ear file and its redeployment in the web application server. This step is described in the installation document. Please consult your system administrator for further details.
