Updating commercial and custom applications

To update an application you can select Applications > Update Application in the widget. Or, if an update is listed as a pending update on the Updates tab of the widget, you can click Install.

A running application cannot be updated. Take the application offline first.

This procedure describes how to use the Update Application option. If you install from the Updates tab the Update Wizard opens on the Resolve Conflicts step, at Step 5 of this procedure:

Select Dashboards > Applications Administration > Applications.
Select the application to update.
Select Applications > Update Application.
Browse to the .biapplication file with which to update the application and click Next.

Conflict resolution options depend on whether the application is commercial or custom. For a commercial application, select one of these options:

Option	Description
Overwrite	The existing object is replaced by the object in the import package.
Rename	The name of the existing object is changed to the name of the object in the import package.

For a custom application, select one of these options:

Option	Description
Overwrite	The existing object is replaced by the object in the import package.
Rename	The name of the object in the import package is changed to the name of the existing object.
Skip	The object is not overwritten or updated.

Select Put online once finished.
