Marking MAIN Workspace Versions as Stable or Unstable

The following procedure describes how to mark the MAIN Workspace versions of an application as stable or unstable using the Stable Version check box. Marking a Workspace version as stable or unstable gives administrators time to fix issues in an unstable Workspace while ensuring that another stable Workspace is available for Siebel users.

Administrators can use the Stable Version check box on the Workspace Dashboard view to manually mark a Workspace version as stable (described in the following procedure) or they can set the Stable WS Version Duration system preference which will automatically mark a Workspace version as stable after a specified time period (in days) has elapsed. For example, setting Stable WS Version Duration to 10 will automatically mark a Workspace version as stable if the application has been running successfully on that version for 10 days.

If the application did not run on the Workspace version for the configured duration (for example, because a newer version was deployed before the duration elapsed), then the system will not automatically mark the Workspace version as stable. Administrators can manually mark a Workspace version as stable as long as there is no newer version set as stable. The default value for Stable WS Version Duration is 15 and the minimum value is 1.

Note: Only administrators can perform this task. The Stable Version check box is enabled only for RR environments (such as, QA or production) containing more than one Workspace version. It is disabled for DR (development) environments.

To mark MAIN Workspace versions as stable or unstable

  1. Log in to the Siebel application.

  2. Click the cube icon on the application banner to navigate to the Workspace Dashboard view.

  3. Select a Workspace version and then set the Stable Version check box to No in the Workspace Version pane to indicate that this Workspace version is unstable and should not be used.

    Repeat this step as required to mark other Workspace versions as unstable.

  4. Select a Workspace version and then set the Stable Version check box to Yes in the Workspace Version pane to indicate that this Workspace version is stable and can be used.

    Note: When the Stable Version flag is set to Yes for the latest version of a Workspace in a production (RR) environment, the Stable Version flag will be read-only for older versions of the environment.
