Application edition management tutorial

This tutorial describes how to perform all the functions that accompany application edition management. Use this for guidance the first time you install an edition or rollout an edition.

Before you begin

Ensure that WebSphere Extended Deployment is installed and up to current levels.

Privileges for the application edition manager differ, depending on the various roles. Roles include monitor, operator, configurator, and administrator. If you are a user with either a monitor or an operator role, you can only view the application edition manager information. If you have the role of configurator or administrator, you have all the configuration privileges for the application edition manager.
