Update usecase

In this chapter the following scenario is described:

  • You have an existing application deployed in your Operator tenant.

  • You want to deploy a new version of your application.

  • You want to use the backing services of the older version of your application.

Update of an application is possible in two ways:

  • Update application with downtime.

  • Update application without downtime.

Update application with downtime

Update an application with downtime does not allows the customers to access the application during upgrade.

To upgrade an application with downtime, proceed with the following steps:

  1. Accept the application from a developer in the Operator Cockpit.

  2. Inform your customers that they shortly will be disconnected from the application.

  3. De-Provision your customers from your application using the "Provisioning" wizard in the Operator Cockpit.

  4. De-Register the existing version of the application you want to update.

  5. Deploy and register the new version of the application.

  6. Provision the new version of your application using "Provisioning" wizard in the Operator Cockpit.

Update application without downtime

To update an application without any downtime, refer to Upgrade a CF application (without downtime).
