Managing applications
Typically, the content of an application includes dashboards and reports, an OLAP database, processes, and predefined roles and permissions.
Applications can be commercial applications, extended applications, or custom applications. This does not affect how applications are used, but it does affect how they are managed.
Commercial applications are installable, or are built Infor d/EPM Platform tools. You can extend commercial applications with your own content but you cannot change or delete the commercial content or any of the commercial roles. Commercial applications are versioned to enable control of updates.
In the Applications dashboard, you create, install, update, and package applications.
Custom applications are those that are developed in-house, by creating blank applications and then adding content. You can continue to add or remove content from custom applications as required. Custom applications are not updated by Infor, therefore, there is no versioning of custom applications. In the Manage Applications dashboard, the version number for custom applications is always 1.0.0.0 and the Vendor column displays .
