Application page

Note that the Application page is only visible if you are working with the DMT launched directly from the CAST AIC Portal.

The Application page enables you to manage all aspects of your Application. Applications are created in the CAST AIC Portal by the CAST AI Administrator.

Fields
Application nameDefines the name of your Application. It is not possible to change the name of an Application in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool - this can only be done by the CAST AI Administrator using the CAST Management Studio.
Application IDA unique identification number for your Application. This ID is managed entirely by the CAST Management Studio and cannot be modified.
Versions section

This section lists any existing Versions that are assigned to the current Application, regardless of their status. It also enables you to add a new version and edit/remove an existing version.

As such, you can use this to manage successive iterations of source code (initial Version delivery, and then updates to the initial Version for example).

Options

Use this to Add a new version.
Enables you to edit a selected Version - the Version page will be displayed enabling you to make the changes you require.

You an also double click a Version to edit it.

Use this option to remove the selected Version from the CAST Delivery Manager Tool. This option will only remove the Version from the local instance of the CAST Delivery Manager Tool. Any associated source code packages and configuration files that were stored in the local CAST Delivery Manager Tool workspace will also be removed.

To re-access the removed Version, you need to use the Refresh/Refresh All option - this will "download" the Version and any associated Packages from the CAST AIC Portal and place them in the local instance of the CAST Delivery Manager Tool.

Note that you cannot remove a Version that has been Delivered and Closed - i.e. in the Delivery Done state (see Version status). In this case, the Version is read-only.

Remember that when using the CAST Delivery Manager Tool via the CAST AIC Portal you are always working locally until you use the Deliver action to upload any changes to the CAST AIC Portal (i.e. to the Source Code Delivery Folder). As such, if you have made changes and you have not used the Deliver action, these changes will be lost on removing the Version.

Table headings

Delivery StateDisplays the status of the Version. Please see Version status for more information.
VersionDisplays the name of the Version.
Copied from versionIndicates the Version that was copied to create the current Version - if applicable. See Add a new version for more information.

If no previous version is displayed in this field, then you either have only one version, or you have chosen not to base your current version on an existing version (see Add a new version for more information about this).

Content stateIndicates the status of the Version's content. For example:
  • No package > The Version does not contain any source code packages. You need to Add a new package.
  • Not packaged > The Version contains source code packages, but they have not yet been Packaged.
  • Packaging successful > The Version contains source code packages and they have been successfully Packaged.
  • Packaging successful with X alerts > The Version contains source code packages and they have been successfully Packaged, however some alerts were raised during the Packaging process. Please check the Source Package - Package Content tab for more information about the alerts.
Action requiredIndicates what CAST suggest you do next based on the content of the Content state column.
