Administering the Object Repository

The Aptify Object Repository is a central repository for all software components, reports, and other files that are used within the system. Aptify’s component-based software development approach offers a great deal of flexibility by allowing administrators to update software on the server that is automatically distributed to each client machine. The automatic distribution feature of Aptify is a key benefit that dramatically reduces the administrative overhead traditionally associated with supporting enterprise business applications.

The Object Repository in Aptify is managed through the Object Repository Administration application and its associated dashboard. The services included in this application allow the administrator to define object contexts, configure object types, and store or update files required by Aptify to run.
