The applications rely on a large variety of resources or setup data. The application defines the required set of resources. However, you need to manage these resources effectively.
PRM provides the following modular approach:
- The administrator assigns physical resources to setup data items.
- The administrator associates data tables containing setup data items with specific people and organization projects.
- For a given people and organization context, the application retrieves the associated resources.
Advantages of PRM:
- It provides a unified and
centralized solution for managing setup data.
- It allows only authorized
or valid setup data associations.
- It reduces the time taken
to retrieve resources at runtime, therefore, increasing the
performance.
- It is accessible to the
designer and the deployer of the application and it can be used
at any time of the application development phase.
