Manage Resource File in SCPms

Resource File in SCP helps you centrally administer and manage common settings.

Resource file helps you do the following:

  • Use a single file (or build) for all system landscapes (Dev, QA, and Production). Users then:
    • Do not have to manually maintain the settings/parameters on the Login screen.
    • Can select/switch the appropriate environment they want to access.
    • Avoid need for managing multiple files/builds.
    • Can rollout mobile app deployment, as the system parameters/settings details are automatically determined improving user experience, ease of use, and adoption.
    • Can maintain common settings/parameters information Security profile, and Connection details in the resources text file and administer centrally by the SCPms admin user.
  • Make branding changes: Change background images, color, and theme based on your enterprise branding needs by changing the settings/parameters in the resources text file. This file is administered centrally by the SCPms admin user.
When this resource file is updated, the application connects to the mobile platform (SCPms) and registers the device with the available branding images of your organization. Once the registration is completed, the application fetches settings like Application ID, Security Profile, Port Numbers, HTTP/HTTPs connection details and multiple languages, which are supported by the applications.
Note: The branding changes are not applicable to MWO 2009 SP03 version.
