Managing custom applications

By default, Resiliency Platform discovers Microsoft SQL Server on Windows and Oracle applications on Linux. In certain circumstances, however, some Oracle applications may not be discovered. In addition, you may want to add other applications to Resiliency Platform. To manage and protect the applications that are not discovered by default, you need to add them using the Add Custom Application wizard.

To add a custom application

  1. Prerequisites

    Do the following:

    • For Linux, create a script to start, stop, and monitor the application. Resiliency Platform interacts with the application using these scripts. The scripts should reside on the same host as the application. For Windows applications, provide the application path such as c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe. A script is not required.

    • Note the complete path to each script.

    • Determine the user who should run the script. Often, it is the admin user or root user. Note the password of this user.

    • Identify which data directory paths the application uses.

  2. Navigate

    Settings (menu bar) > Application Support

     

    On Uploaded tab, click Application Type

  3. In the Select Action panel, select Create Custom Application Bundle.
  4. In the Select Application Type panel, enter a name for the application bundle and select the platform.

    Select the check box if you want to deploy the application on all the applicable hosts.

  5. In the Fill inputs for Application panel, use the information you collected in step 1 to complete the form.
  6. Click Next and Finish to submit the wizard.

You need to install and enable the custom applicable bundle on the required hosts before you can organize it with other applications into a resiliency group.

Editing a custom application

You can either edit the auto deploy preference or you can edit the application details on a selected managed host.

To edit the auto deploy preference

  1. Navigate

    Settings (menu bar) > Application Support

  2. On the Uploaded tab, right-click the custom application for which you want to edit the auto deploy preference, select Set/Unset Auto-Deploy.

To edit the application details on a selected managed host

  1. Navigate

    Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View

     

    Managed Host > Application tab

  2. In the Custom Applications table, select the application that you want to edit.
  3. Click the vertical ellipsis and select Edit Application.
  4. In the Edit custom application inputs panel, make the required changes and click Next.

    Note that these changes are applicable only to the selected host.

  5. Click Finish.
Deleting a custom application

You can delete the custom application bundle in the following ways:

  • Delete the bundle thereby removing it from all the hosts on which it is installed.

  • Delete the bundle from selected hosts.

To delete a custom application bundle

  1. Navigate

    Settings (menu bar) > Application Support

  2. On the Uploaded tab, select the custom application which you want to delete, click Remove.

To delete a custom application from a selected managed host

  1. Navigate

    Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View

     

    Managed Host > Application tab

  2. In the Custom Applications table, select the application that you want to delete.
  3. Click the vertical ellipsis and select Delete Application.
  4. In the Confirm delete custom application review the information and click Next.
  5. Click Finish.
