Application Modules
With Product 360 8.0.5 the application module concept was introduced. A module can be seen as business functionality which can be enabled or disabled. Therefore a new property file called "application_modules.properties" located in the configuration folder of the server was introduced. Currently it is possible to enable/disable different GDSN scenarios and the Food and beverage module. When activated, the corresponding perspectives, views and other things like reports and export datatypes are available for the user to import/maintain/export food and beverage or GDSN data.
By default "GDSN" as well as "FoodAndBeverage" are set to "false" and must be activated during the accelerator installation (food and beverage only if needed).
The Food and Beverage module can be used independently of GDSN.
An example for the application_modules.properties file is given in the screenshot below. Please see the following chapters for a specific "DSE" or "IM" configuration.
Please note that both, running multiple pools at the same time and activating more than one role (dataSource and dataRecipient) is not supported.
Please also note that if GDSN should be used, the corresponding GDSN plugins need to be installed in the client and server.
