Using Json Forms for IE App Configuration at Deploy Time

Dear Dieter,

While Siemens doesn't directly provide a dedicated open-source tutorial specifically for IE App configuration *at deploy time* using Json Forms, here's guidance based on available resources and typical implementation approaches:

Key Concepts & Resources:

• Json Forms: Json Forms Official Website - Focuses on generating UI forms from JSON schemas.
• IE App Configuration: Typically involves creating/modifying configuration files (e.g., using the IE App's configuration API) based on user input.
• Deploy-Time Configuration: Means configuring the application *after* it's deployed, often during its initial startup or through a dedicated configuration step.

Implementation Approach:

1. Define JSON Schema: Create a JSON schema that represents your IE App's configurable parameters.
2. Create Json Forms UI: Use Json Forms to generate a user interface based on the schema. This UI allows users to input configuration values.
3. Capture User Input: Collect the user-provided configuration data from the Json Forms UI.
4. Apply Configuration: At deploy/startup time, use the collected data to configure your IE App. This will involve writing the values to the necessary configuration files or using the IE App's configuration API.

Example/Starting Point:

Check SiePortal for related discussions: SiePortal. Search for "Json Forms" and "IE App Configuration".

Consider searching GitHub for "Json Forms examples" – adapt existing examples to your specific IE App configuration needs.
