For ideas about how to name the application and what text to put in the description text boxes, see
the predefined applications already included on the Applications page. To see these applications,
you must log in as a user that is a member of the Default group.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
2 Open an application.
3
Click Create Application Version.
4 Enter the major and minor version of the application in the Version text box.
For example, you might also add a qualifier to the major and minor versions such as
1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.
5 (Optional) Enter a description of the application version in the Description text box.
6 Click Save.
The application version appears in the Application Versions section of the original application.
What to do next
Model an application blueprint for the application version. See Model an Application Blueprint.
Model an Application Blueprint
The application blueprint provides detailed control over installation dependencies, configuration changes,
and editable Application Servicesscripts. generates execution plans from the blueprint, which you can
revise and use to deploy applications on supported cloud environments.
You model and create an application in the blueprint canvas. On the left side of the blueprint canvas are
the logical templates from the Application Services library. On the right is a list of the services available
from the library and application components. You can select a logical template and drag it to center of the
blueprint canvas to start modeling your application.
Save your changes frequently. The Application Services user interface session expires after 30 minutes of
inactivity. If the session expires, any changes that were not saved are lost.
