Application Template General Settings

General Settings - include Application template version, package name (RPM package name without suffices), current status (see description of this attribute above), enabled or not (see description of this attribute above), information about compatible OS templates (Operating Systems on those this Application works), disk space required (for different file systems), and description.

The General Settings screen displays the following:

• Version. The application template version. Note that version number is not available for EZ templates and thus a zeros are shown.
• Package. The name of the package set the application template is included.
• Status:
• Registered. A template RPM is absent on a Management Node, but this template configuration file exists in Parallels Business Automation - Standard database.

  Note: A template in a Registered state cannot be synchronized with other Hardware Nodes since a template RPM is missing and a template cannot be installed. To make a template installation on Hardware Node(s) possible, a template RPM must be installed on a Management Node first. Then a template status becomes Installed and its distribution on Hardware Nodes becomes possible.

• Installed. Both a template configuration file and a template RPM exist on a Management Node. A template can be distributed onto any of registered Hardware Nodes.
• Synchronized. A template configuration file and a template RPM exist on a Hardware Node. A template RPM is unpacked, i.e., a template is installed on a Hardware Node.

  Note: If a template was installed on a Hardware Node manually, then Management Node knows nothing about this and keeps a template status as not synchronized. To let the Management Node know about an actual template status, go to the Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Nodes, and select the Hardware Node. Click on Applications or OS templates tab. Check the box next to a template name and click the Update Synchronization State button.

• Enabled. Green tick - the template is enabled, i.e. allowed for installation into Containers and can be included in hosting plans. Red cross - the template is disabled.
• Force jump option when upgrading to this template. This is the Virtuozzo option used to skip application previous versions (if any) when upgrading an application to a given version. For example, you want to upgrade an application to a newer version. But the version you want to upgrade to is not the next in respect to a current one, i.e., some other versions of this application were released (and are available) before the newest version. Probably it is better to install previous upgrades and then upgrade an application to the newest version, but if you are sure that it is safe to install the latest upgrade, you can enable the jump option for this application.
• Compatible OS templates. The list of OSs the application is compatible with. You can edit this list.
• Disk space usage. Disk space used by the application for different file systems.
• Descriptions. Application description

Finally, the General Settings tab allows deleting (uninstalling) the package set (The Delete button at the bottom of the screen). Please, note that in this case the package set will be deleted from the Management Node (and, consequently, from all Hardware Nodes this package set was synchronized with).

Note: If you intend to uninstall an Application, you can get an error message, because some Containers may use this Application at this moment. However, you can force the uninstall. Please, be attentive, in this case you may get some problems with your Containers.
