Creating an Application System Installation
When we refer to application system installation, this means installation of all or only certain of its components.
You can create several installations for the same application system.
When you create an application system installation, the wizard allows you to automatically create software installations for all application system components. You can also manually define software installations to be associated with the application system (see Defining Application System Software Installations).
To run application system installation:
1. Open the properties of the application system.
2. Select the Installation page.
3. In the Application System Installation section, select New.
4. In the window that appears, enter:
• installation name
• installation start and end dates
5. Indicate if you want to install all components. In this case, the tool creates these automatically.
6. Click Next.
You can specify:
• the Consumers, in other words the users of the deployed application system.
• the Implemented Functions.
7. Click OK.
Application System Installation Contexts
A usage context is automatically associated with an application system installation To this context you can connect consumers and implemented functions.
The usage context of an application or an application system enables specification of the list of functionalities offered to each population of users for a given installation over a period of time. Several contexts can be created for a given installation.You can create several contexts for the same application system installation.
To add a context to an application system installation:
1. Open the properties of the application system.
2. In the Installation page, Application System Installation section, select the application system installation concerned.
3. In the Application System Installation Context section, select New.
The context appears in the section.
4. Select the context created and in the next section, indicate the Consumers of the context and the Implemented Functions.
Defining Application System Software Installations
To indicate manually which components are deployed in an application system installation:
1. Open the properties of the application system.
2. In the Installation page, Application System Installation section, select the application system installation concerned.
3. In the Software Installation section, select New.
4. From the listed components, select the application to be installed.
• If the selected application has no existing installation, create an installation. A context is automatically created for this installation in which the consumer is the installation of the application system.
• If the application presents existing installations, select the required installation. A context is automatically created for this installation in which the consumer is the installation of the application system.
