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
- In the administrative console, click to Applications > Edition
control center.
- Select the application that you want to activate.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Activate. Activating marks an application
edition as available to be started.
- Click Rollout. Rolling out an edition activates
one edition in place of another. The new edition automatically starts because
it replaces a running edition.
- 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.
