Downloading Application Architect (Infor CRM SLX Cloud only)

Downloading the Application Architect enables Cloud administrative users to create customizations in Application Architect in a local environment with a local database.

If the Application Architect is downloaded, you can download a model to replace the local model with the model from the Infor CRM SLX server specified. Downloading the model overwrites any local customizations. For more information see the Application Architect help topic “Downloading the Model”.
