Activating an edition

This topic describes three methods to activate an edition: activating, rolling out, or validating the edition.

Before you begin

You must have an application installed and inactive.

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.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console, click to Applications > Edition control center.
  2. Select the application that you want to activate.
  3. Do one of the following:
    1. Click Activate. Activating marks an application edition as available to be started.
    2. Click Rollout. Rolling out an edition activates one edition in place of another. The new edition automatically starts because it replaces a running edition.
    3. Click Validate. Validation activates an edition on a clone of its original deployment target. The first edition installed automatically activates, making it eligible to be started. The validation process simplifies use and promotes backward compatibility.

Results

The edition activates. If you used the activate or validate options, you can start your edition application.
