The applications are not added to Environments by default. The applications that need to be added to environments must be added manually. You can enable environments for an app during its creation or after its creation.

• During Creation of Application
• After Creation of Application

During Creation of Application

1. While creating an app, check the Enable environment option.
   

2. After creating the app, Navigate to the Environments under Deploy section.
   

   

3. The app for which Enable environments was selected will be listed under the Applications column.
   

   

4. Click on More button adjacent to the application. Then choose Edit option in the list.
   

   

5. If any changes are made to the applications, the Status will be changed to Changes available.
6. You can now publish the app to stage. Learn more

After Creation of Application

Some apps may have been created without selecting the 'Enable Environment' option during the app creation process. Such apps can also be added to the environments retrospectively. They can be added from either the Environments section or the Solutions  section.

• Add from Environments section
• Add from Solutions section

Add from Environments section

To add apps to Environments:

1. Navigate to the Environments under Deploy section.
   

   

2. Click on the Add applications button.
   

   

3. In the Add Applications to Environments pane, choose the required apps which have to be added to the environment.
   

   

   Note: You can select a maximum of 10 applications to add to environment simultaneously.
4. Then click Add Application button.
5. The apps will be added to the environments only after the successful completion of certain validations. If all the selected apps are successfully validated, then the apps will be added to the environment and the development creation will be initiated.
   Note:  In certain instances the apps will be added to the Environments but the development environment will not be created. In such cases, the development environment creation should be done manually as shown here.
6. There is a possibility that the apps may face errors while adding to the environments. In such cases, the apps will not be added to the environment. To proceed further, you can either resolve all the errors in the apps or deselect the apps which are facing errors. The instances when the errors may occur are listed  here.
   
   • Apps that have been successfully validated will have 'Ready to add' status. The apps that encountered errors will have 'Error Details' status.
     

     

   • Click on the Error Details button to view the errors that occurred.
   • A popup containing the list of the errors will be displayed. After resolving the errors, try clicking the Refresh icon.
     

     

   • Once all errors are resolved, the status will be changed to Ready to add.
   • Now click the Add Application button.
   • The applications will be added to the environments and the development environment creation will be initiated.
     Note:  In certain instances the apps will be added to the Environments but the development environment will not be created. In such cases, the development environment creation should be done manually as shown here.

Add from Solutions section

To add apps to Environments:

1. Go to the Solutions page.
2. Navigate to required app and click More -> Add to Environment.
   

   

3. Click Enable in the popup.
   

   

4. The app will be added to the environments and development creation will be initiated provided all the validations have been done successfully. If validation is unsuccessful, then the errors faced by the app will be listed in a popup. You'll have to resolve all the errors to proceed further and add the app to environment. The instances when the errors may occur are listed here.

Create development environment

The development environment creation can be done simultaneously for a maximum of 3 apps only. Due to this, there are certain scenarios in which the applications will be added to the Environments but the development environment creation will not initiated. This will occur in the following circumstances:

• When you try to add more than 3 apps to the Environments at once.
• When you try to add 3 apps to Environments but development creation is already in progress for other applications.(i.e) The no.of apps being added should be equal to the no. of vacant slots in queue for the Development environment creation. Otherwise, the Development environment creation will not be initiated.

In case of the above scenarios, the applications will be added to the Environments and then you'll have to manually create the development environment as per the procedure given below.

1. Navigate to the Environments under Deploy section.
   

   

2. Click on the More button next to the app and choose Create & Edit option.
   

   

   Note:  If the development environment creation is already in progress for 3 apps then you'll be shown an error on clicking  Create & Edit.
3. The development environment creation will be initiated and the status will be Development creation in progress.
   

   

4. Once complete, the status will be changed as App is ready for development
5. Now clicking the Edit button will take you to the development environment.

Points to remember

• At any point in time only three apps can have Development creation in progress as their status.
• Once the development environment has been created, the status changes to App is ready for development. The Edit option is enabled only after the status changes.
• After the app is ready for development status, if a user makes changes to the app, the status will become Changes Available. An app can only be published to Stage when the status is  Changes Available.
• Similarly, after the app is ready for development status, if a user does not make any changes to the app, the status will become No Changes Available.
• If there is an issue while creating a development environment, the status will become Error while creating environment .
