Hi,

I want to know in which scenario we have to create multiple application Configurations and multiple Component Configurations.

Plz explain With examples...

Best Regards,

A component config controls the component it self. All views.

eg a Component when called with config SALES, hides all PRODUCTIN fields.

Or a Component called with config EXTERNAL automatically switches fields to DISPLAY only. whatever...

You can see why many configs of 1 component make sense.

Now you also know a component can embed other components.

SO how to you string these all together.

When you configure an application:

You simple choose one of the configurations for all embedded components

that should be used.

The APPL config tool, looks inside components to find other embedded components.

You can have a deep selection of component configuration until you reach the lowest level.

Hence why APPLICATION configuration is required and not just component configuration.

The application config can have many component config selections inside it.

Hi Dev,

If we want to provide appication to diffrent group of peple / roles with diferent buttons or fields present in the application. We can have multiple appli configuration (by hiding some of fields).

Hi Suresh,

that means if for a particular Bussiness object if i want to hide certain fields or make it invisible we can create different Componenet configurations and embed them into application Configuration..then in which case we need multiple Application Configuration??
