In Example: Creating the configuration map Chooser Map, you created the configuration map Chooser
Map. As with all containers, you need to create versions of all
child components before you can create a version of the container
itself. Therefore, you need to create versions of your example
subapplication and applications and release them before finally creating a
version of your configuration map.
To version and release the contained components, do the following:
- Open an Application Manager, or a TrailBlazer on Loaded
Applications.
- Verify that the subapplication DevelopStopwatch is released to
its containing application DevelopChooser. If you have not
done so already, create versions of DevelopStopwatch,
DevelopChooser, and the other three applications,
DevelopmentWidget, DevelopTextEditor, and
DevelopTimeLogger.
- Release the application versions to your configuration map by doing the
following:
- Open a Configuration Maps Browser, or a TrailBlazer on Configuration
Maps. Select your configuration map; then select the map
edition.
- From the list of applications, select DevelopChooser (the
bottome list for TrailBlazer).
- If you are using a standard Configuration Maps Browser, from the
Applications menu, select Release Other. A
window is displayed, listing editions and versions of your application.
- If you are using a standard Configuration Maps Browser, select the latest
application version. It is on the top of the list. Also, it
should have an asterisk (*) next to it, signifying that it is already loaded
in your image.
- If you are using a TrailBlazer and there is a more recent edition in the
right bottom list, then select the newer edition and select
Release.
- Repeat the above steps for the applications DevelopmentWidget,
DevelopTextEditor, and DevelopTimeLogger. The
application lineup is now configured in your configuration map.
Next, create a version of the configuration map edition.
| You might want to test the configuration map to verify that all
applications contained in it load correctly together. The best way to
perform a test load is on an image with nothing but the base applications
installed. Loading the new map into your existing image tells you
little because the map you just created is a subset of applications already
loaded into your image. To test the configuration map, do the
following:
- From a Configuration Maps Browser or TrailBlazer, verify that
ChooserMap is selected in the list of configuration maps, and that
its edition time stamp is selected in the list of editions.
- From the Editions menu, select Load. After
your configuration map edition loads successfully, you can create a version of
the edition.
|
To create a version of the edition, do the following:
- From the Editions menu, select Version. A
window is displayed, requesting you to select a version name.
- Supply a new version name, or just select OK to select the one
given. The edition time stamp changes to the version name you
entered.
