Use forwarder management to manage apps

The main function of forwarder management is to create server classes that map deployment apps to clients. This process is described in the topic "Use forwarder management to define server classes".

The interface also provides tools to manage deployment apps. You can:

• Edit an app
• Uninstall an app
• View app deployment status

Edit an app

To edit an app, go to the forwarder management interface, as described in "Access the forwarder management interface", and perform these actions:

1. Go to the Configurations tab, where you'll see a list of all applications (apps).

2. Select the three dots () in the last column for that app.

There are a few things you can do from here:

• View details
• Uninstall
• Edit server class
• Assign server class

Important: You cannot edit the actual content of the app from the forwarder management interface. To change its content, you must update the app through the deployment server's file system, as described in "Create deployment applications".

Uninstall an app

You can uninstall an app from all server classes or from just a single server class.

Uninstall from all server classes

To uninstall an app from all server classes, select the "Uninstall" option.

This action removes the app from all server classes and uninstalls it from all clients. It does not actually remove the app from the deployment server's file system.

Uninstall from one server class

To uninstall an app from just one server class:

1. Select the "Edit server classes" option. This takes you to the Edit Server Classes Assigned page, with two columns: Unassigned server classes and Assigned server classes, with a list of server classes under each.

4. Locate the server class that you want to remove the app from under Assigned server classes.

5. Click the server class name, then select the arrow titled "Move to unassigned server classes" () to move it from the Assigned server classes column to the Unassigned server classes column.

6. Click Save.

The deployment server removes the app from all clients in that server class.

View app deployment status

To view the deployment status of an app:

1. Go to the Configurations tab, where you'll see a list of all apps.

2. Locate the Deployment status column. The column indicates how many clients have received the app.

For more information, click on the app name. This takes you to a screen that shows a summary of information about the app, as well as the app's clients and their deployment status.

Edit an app's after delivery settings

You can also modify your application's after delivery settings:

1. Go to the Configurations tab, where you'll see a list of all apps.

2. Select the application you would like to modify. This takes you to the Details page for that application.

Under "Settings", you can now modify your application's after delivery settings. By default, the application is set to be enabled after delivery, but you can also choose to disable it, or for your application not to run on your agent. Lastly, you can select whether or not to restart your agent after delivery.
