Applications

An application in the Intelligent Application Manager is a combination of a project version, a server and a database that will appear as a standalone application in the user interfaces. A project version can therefore result in several applications on different servers and/or for different databases. Each application has its own authorization and user preferences.

Create an application

A new application can be created via the applications screen.

Create an application

The Sequence number determines the order in which the applications are listed in the user interfaces. An application will only show if the Active option is checked. Only activate an application after it has been set up completely.

The Environment group shows for which platforms the application is available and the alias used for the Indicium OData API.

The maximum number of sessions per user account can be set with the Concurrent access settings. This will limit the amount of users that can access the application using the same account. The claim timeout field determines the amount of minutes before a claim is automatically released when the application is not in use.

Themes

To distinguish between multiple applications for the same project version, for instance in DTAP environments, it is possible to set a different theme for every application using the Set theme task.

Apply rights

Tasks are available to apply the required rights to the databases:

Task
Apply roles	Creates the roles on the application database
Apply user rights	Creates the users and user groups on the application database
Apply user rights to IAM	Creates the users on the IAM database

To be able to apply the rights to an SQL Server database, an IAM administrator who is not a database system administrator needs additional database rights. This can be done using the following code snippet:

use master
go

grant view server state to [login_name]
go

Translations

In the Translations tab page, it is possible to provide a translation and a tooltip for every application language.

File paths

The Relink files task can be used to update all file references in a project version (e.g. icons and reports) to the required location for the production environment.

Copy an application

It is also possible to copy an existing application, including its translations, settings, user preferences and authorization using the Copy application task.
