Activate an edition
Edition activation distinguishes between two states in which an application edition might exist. When an application edition is first installed, the application edition is in the inactive state. We can start the application edition only when it is in the active state. The transition from inactive to active is known as activation. Three methods exist to activate an application edition: activating, performing a rollout to a new application edition, or validating the application edition.
- We must have an application installed and in the inactive state.
- To activate an application edition, we must have a configurator or administrator administrative role.
The first installed edition of an application is automatically activated.
Tasks
- In the administrative console, select...
Applications > Edition control center > application_edition
- Complete one of the following actions.
- Click Activate.
Activating marks an application edition as available to be started. After activating an application edition, update the routing rules, and click Apply and Save regardless of what item is displayed in the list.
After updating the routing rules, click Apply and Save even if only one edition of the application is displayed in the menu list.
- Click Rollout.
Perform a rollout to an application edition activates one edition in place of another. The new application edition automatically starts because it replaces a running application edition.
- Click Validate.
Validation activates an application edition on a clone of its original deployment target.
The application edition is activated.
What to do next
If we used the activate or validate options, we can start your edition application.
