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.
Note: The first edition of
an application installed before any other editions is automatically
activated, increasing its availability and making it eligible to be
started.
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. 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.
