Three methods exist to activate an edition: activating, performing
a rollout to a new edition, or validating the edition. Edition activation
distinguishes between two states in which an application edition might exist.
When an edition is first installed, the edition is in the inactive state.
You can start the edition only when it is in the active state. The transition
from inactive to active is known as activation.
Before you begin
You must have an application installed and in the inactive state.
To
activate an edition, you must have a configurator or administrator administrative
role.
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click Applications > Edition
control center.
- Select the application that you want to activate.
- Complete one of the following actions:
- Click Activate. Activating marks an application
edition as available to be started. After you activate an edition, you must
update the routing rules. See Creating routing policies for application editions
for more
information.
- Click Roll out. Rolling out an edition activates
one edition in place of another. The new edition automatically starts because
it replaces a running edition. See Performing a rollout on an edition
for
more information.
- 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 compatibility with earlier versions. See Validating an edition
for more information.
Results
The edition is activated.
What to do next
If you used the activate or validate options, then you can start
your edition application.
