Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for automating setup of configuration data for an application program. In one embodiment, a method of automating setup of configuration data for an application program can comprise identifying a set of configuration data used by a first instance of the application program. The set of configuration data can contain data for substantially replicating a configuration for the first instance of the application program. The method can further include extracting the set of configuration data from the first instance of the application program. A manifest can be created identifying data in the set of configuration data. The set of configuration data can be saved in a portable format that includes the set of configuration data and the manifest.

Tool for automated extraction and loading of configuration settings

Embodiments of the present invention provide for updating an application such as an authoring tool for defining one or more customized configurations of a software package. According to one embodiment, a base package including the application and information defining a base configuration for the application can be received and installed. Instructions to create a custom configuration of the application can be received and information defining the custom configuration can be saved separate from the application and the base configuration. An update package including an update to the authoring tool can be received and installed. The information defining the custom configuration can be read and compared to the update to the authoring tool to determine whether the update affects the custom configuration. If the update to the authoring tool affects the custom configuration, elements of the custom configuration that are found to be affected can be reported.

Extensibility for business accelerator authoring tools

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for configuration of an application program using a set of pre-configuration data and a questionnaire. In one embodiment, a method for delivering configuration information for an application, can comprise saving a set of configuration information related to the application. A set of one or more questions related to configuration of the application can be defined and saved. In some cases, at least one of the set of one or more questions related to configuration of the application can relate to at least a subset of the set of configuration information. The set of configuration information and the set of one or more questions can be delivered for use in configuring an installation of the application.
