Szenario

Development of the HRApps application is complete. You are asked to migrate the application to a testing system. Quality assurance (QA testers) requires that you provide them with an application archive of the HRApps application. The QA testers will import the application archive on the testing system to test the application ahead of application delivery. Your application contains a ruleset for delegating rules in a production environment, which must be kept unlocked.

Use the Application Packaging wizard to create a product rule for the current version of the HRApps application. Include the product rule in an unlocked application ruleset. The product rule includes:

All of the associated data types and data instances for the HRApps and HRFW applications (not the Theme-Cosmos application).
All of the developer documentation added in the rule History tabs.

Modify the product rule so that the delegated production ruleset is included in the archive. Then, verify that the contents of the product rule are complete before creating the archive. Finally, use the product rule to create and save the application archive to your system.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.

Challenge-Schritte

Genaue Übungsschritte

1 Create the product rule

In Dev Studio, from the Configure menu, select Application > Distribution > Package to open the Application Packaging wizard.
In the Application step, select the highest version of the HRApps application, and select the highest unlocked version of the HRApps ruleset. Click Next to continue.
In Step 2, uncheck "Theme-Cosmos 02.01" to omit the standard Cosmos application from the product archive. The system automatically unchecks CEBase, you do not need to re-select it. Click Next to continue.
In the Application Packaging wizard, there are no changes to steps 3-12. Click Next to continue.
Click Finish to display the verification landing page.

2 Modify the product rule

Click Modify to open the product rule.
Select the Custom/Production rulesets check box for the HRApps application to add the delegated ruleset to the application archive.
Retain the other default settings to ensure that the data associated with the application rulesets, rule history instances, and the application's data types are added to the archive.
OPTIONAL: To avoid overhead maintenance, delete any individual data instances.
At the bottom of the form, in the File details section, select Allow unlocked ruleset versions? to ensure that an error does not occur when you attempt to create the archive, as the delegated ruleset must remain unlocked.
