Business-level application page
Use this page to view and manage business-level applications.
To view this dmgr console page, click Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications.
To view the values specified for an application configuration, click the application name in the list. The displayed application settings page shows the values specified. On the settings page, we can change existing configuration values and link to additional console pages that assist you in configuring the application.
To manage a business-level application, enable the Select check box beside the application name in the list and click a button:
| Button | Resulting action |
|---|---|
| Start | Attempts to run the application. After the application starts successfully, the state of the application changes to Started if the application starts on all deployment targets, else the state changes to Partial Start. |
| Stop | Attempts to stop the processing of the application. After the application stops successfully, the state of the application changes to Stopped if the application stops on all deployment targets, else the state changes to Partial Stop. |
| New | Opens a wizard that helps you add assets, shared libraries, or business-level applications as composition units to the application. |
| Delete | Deletes the application from the product configuration repository and deletes the application binaries from the file system of all nodes where the application modules are installed.
On single-server installations, deletion occurs after the configuration is saved. |
Name
Name of the business-level application. Application names must be unique within a cell and cannot contain an unsupported character.
Description for the business-level application.
Status
Indicates whether the application deployed on the application server is started, stopped, or unknown.
| Icon | Application status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Started | Application is running. |
| Partial start | Application is in the process of changing from a Stopped state to a Started state. Application is starting to run but is not fully running yet. Or, it cannot fully start because a server mapped to one or more application modules is stopped. |
| Stopped | Application is not running. |
| Partial stop | Application is in the process of changing from a Started state to a Stopped state. Application has not stopped running yet. |
| Unknown | Status cannot be determined.
On single-server installations, an application with an unknown status might, in fact, be running but have an unknown status because the server running the dmgr console cannot communicate with the server running the application. |
| Pending | Status is temporarily unknown pending an event that a user did not initiate, such as pending an asynchronous call. |
| Not applicable | Application does not provide information as to whether it is running. |
The status of an application on a web server is always Unknown.
