Application profile

An application profile is a collection of information that specifies business flows for work types, specifications, requirements, and other processing elements like reports, correspondence, and interfaces for a project implementation. It also provides implementation time frames and sizing estimates. Information is captured by the Application Profiler that produces a printable project document and integrates with the Application Accelerator to create or extend an application or framework.

Creating a profile is part of the suite of implementation tools supported by Direct Capture of Objectives (DCO).

To start the Application Profiler:

In the Designer Studio:

• To create a new profile: select New Application > Application Profile from the Application menu.
• To open an existing profile: select New Application > Profiles in Progress from the Application menu.

In the Business Analyst portal:

• To create a new profile: select > Application Actions > Define Profile.
• To open an existing profile: select > Application Actions > Open Profile and choose a profile from the list.

For details about creating an application profile, see the PDN article 26371 Creating Application Profiles and Discovery Maps and others listed under the Direct Capture of Objectives section of the Implementation Methodology knowledge category.

Don't confuse the Application Profiler with the Profiler tool — an unrelated performance and debugging aid — or with an operator profile.
