Scenario

Your manager wants to preserve the initial starting version of the HRApps application before developers begin configuring application functionality. To ensure the initial versions of the application Rulesets are preserved unchanged, your manager requests that you create new application Rulesets for this development cycle.

Increment the application Rulesets for the HRApps application to 01-01-02 versions.

Caution: When you complete this exercise, you lock the 01-01-01 version of each application Ruleset. You cannot modify rules contained in a locked Ruleset version. To modify a rule after you lock the 01-01-01 Ruleset version, open the rule and save a copy of it into the unlocked 01-01-02 version of the Ruleset.

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

Role User name Password
Senior System Architect SSA@TGB rules

Detailed Tasks

1 Create new application ruleset

  1. In Dev Studio, click Configure > Application > Structure > RuleSet Stack to open the RuleSet stack tab of the Application Structure landing page.
  2. Verify that there are no checked-out rules for the RuleSets; check in any rules before proceeding.
  3. Click Lock & Roll to open the Lock & Roll window to increment the application and the application RuleSets.

    Verify Checked Out Rules
  4. In the Lock & Roll window, select all application RuleSets to be locked.

  5. For each selected Ruleset, in the Password field, enter password to lock the RuleSet.

  6. Select Roll for all application RuleSets.

  7. For each selected RuleSet, in the Roll to Version field, enter 01-01-02.

  8. Update the Description to the new version.

  9. Select Update my Application to include the new RuleSet Versions.

    Note: If the application record references only the major and minor version of a RuleSet, then the system automatically uses the new patch version. If the application explicitly references the patch version of the RuleSet, then the developer must update the application record or create a new application version.
  10. Click Run to lock the current RuleSet versions and update your current application rule to reflect the new RuleSet versions.
