    5. Restart the DSR MP from Main Menu > Status & Manage > Server.
  5. Log into an Active NOAM and SOAM GUI.
  6. Verify that DCA Application folder appears under the DCA Framework menu item on an NOAM and SOAM.
    1. Verify that the folder for the new DCA application appears under DCA Framework on an NOAM. Under the application folder has General Options, Trial MP assignment, and Application Control sub-options.
    2. Verify that the folder for the new DCA application appears under DCA Framework on an SOAM. Under the application folder has General Options, Trial MP assignment, and Application Controll, and System Options sub-options.
  7. Log out of the NOAM login shells using the # exit command and close the SSH connections.
