What is the best way to change an application

Some approaches:

Properties using Advanced Platforms

Use some web platform like :

With this approaches , when a change of configurations is required, you just need update the value in the system and restart your application. It is even possible a hot reload in java applications.

Properties from Environment variables

You can export your key:value properties as environment vars before starting the application :

And read it after after the application has started:

Properties from SCM

• Create some svn repositoty called development-configurations
• Upload your database.xml with development values
• In your application, put a database.xml with dummy values : localhost, etc
• Create a jenkins job and put the environment as an argument.
• In the same job download svn source code of your application.
• download svn repository called $environment-configurations. $environment will be your argument
• replace the database.xml inside of your application with database.xml of $environment-configurations repository.
• Just create another repositories for testing, uat and production. Job must be receive environment as an argument to choose the right database.xml

Modify your applications to read configurations from some database instead of xml file

Properties from File System

Modify your application to read an external database.xml instead of the database.xml inside of your source code. With this approach you just need put the database.xml in some path of your server and delete it from your application source code.

Note

You can use these approaches not only for backend apps. You can use them for frontends applications:

In most cases, domestic applicants are eligible to change their preferences prior to receiving an offer of admission.

What is change of preference?

Change of preference is an opportunity for you to re-order or add new programs to your list of preferences that ANU will assess for admission. Your preferences are assessed in order from first to fifth, so the program you want to study most should be your first preference, the one you want to study second-most as your second preference, and so on.

Advice for domestic direct applications

Please view the dates on the Domestic applications - Undergratuate for your change of preference period.

How do I change my preference?

You can also re-order your existing preferences in the 'Programs' section.

The order of your preferences is important. Preferences are assessed from first preference (the program you want to study the most) to fifth preference (the program you want to study the least).  You need to make sure you order your preferences to get the best outcome for you, however changing your preferences will impact upon your September offer and could impact your scholarship eligibility.

If you receive an early offer directly from ANU, your early offer will be honoured as long as this early offer program remains as your highest eligible preference and you complete Year 12 with an ATAR in 2022.

If you change or re-order your preferences, your application will be reassessed in the order of your new preferences. If you are eligible and competitive for a preference which is higher than your early offer preference, your early offer will be replaced with the new offer in December/January and you will no longer be able to confirm your early offer acceptance.

Advice for UAC applicants

The change of preference deadlines for UAC applications is related to your application period.

How do I change my preference?

The order of your preferences is important. Preferences are assessed from first preference (the program you want to study the most) to fifth preference (the program you want to study the least).  You need to make sure you order your preferences to get the best outcome for you.

You usually don't need to upload your Australian Year 12 results or ATAR. The exceptions are:

• Queensland applicants with an ATAR: You need to give QTAC permission to share your ATAR with UAC and the other state tertiary admissions centres. We won't be able to assess your ATAR if you don't do this. Alternatively, you can upload a copy of your official Senior Statement and ATAR Notice to your UAC application as soon as they become available. However, subject adjustment factors are not automatically applied to results provided to UAC by applicants. You’ll need to contact the institutions to have these allocated to you.
• Students completing Year 12 in the middle of the current year: Upload your results and official ATAR notification to your application as soon as you receive them.

Current International Baccalaureate students: Ask your school IB Diploma coordinator to authorise the IB to release your IB Diploma results directly to UAC. This needs to be done in addition to any other request for results to be sent to an institution. Alternatively, upload a copy of your official Results Certificate and Diploma Certificate to your UAC application as soon as they become available. However, subject adjustment factors are not automatically applied to results provided to UAC by applicants. You’ll need to contact the institutions to have these allocated to you.

Other applicants with the IB: Authorise the release of your results to UAC via the Request for Results Service on the International Baccalaureate Information System (IBIS). This needs be done in addition to any other request for results to be sent to an institution. Alternatively, upload a copy of your official Results Certificate and Diploma Certificate to your UAC application as soon as they become available.

Tertiary results

UAC can access results from most Australian tertiary institutions. If you need to upload results, you will be prompted to do so in your application.

Documents

If you need to provide supporting documents, you will be prompted to do so in your application. The required documents will also be listed in your confirmation of application, which you can download when you complete your application. View requirements for commonly requested documents.

Provide any required documents as soon as possible after applying to make sure there is time for them to be assessed before offers are made. Check application key dates.

All documents must be uploaded as PDFs through your application. Hardcopies will not be accepted.

During installation of the application, you can select the components that will be available. You can change the available application components in the following ways:

This component is available if Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on a computer that runs on Windows for workstations. This component is unavailable if Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on a computer that runs on Windows for servers.

File encryption has the following special features:

• Kaspersky Endpoint Security encrypts / decrypts files in predefined folders only for local user profiles of the operating system. Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not encrypt or decrypt files in predefined folders of roaming user profiles, mandatory user profiles, temporary user profiles, or redirected folders.
• Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not encrypt files whose modification could harm the operating system and installed applications. For example, the following files and folders with all nested folders are on the list of encryption exclusions:
  • %WINDIR%;
  • %PROGRAMFILES% and %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%;
  • Windows registry files.

  The list of encryption exclusions cannot be viewed or edited. While files and folders on the list of encryption exclusions can be added to the encryption list, they will not be encrypted during file encryption.
