The Actions menu allows you to perform actions on selected applications.
Note
An application must have all of its associated servers in the correct lifecycle for the desired action, otherwise it will be excluded.
The Actions menu allows you to perform the following actions:
-
Launch test instances – Choose this option to launch test instances for this application servers.
-
Mark as "Ready for cutover" – Choose this option to finalize testing for this application after you have completed all the necessary tests in preparation for cutover.
The Mark servers as "Ready for cutover" dialog will appear. Select whether you want to terminate the launched instances used for testing. It is recommended to terminate these instances, as you will be charged for them even though you will no longer need them. Check the Yes, terminate launched instances (recommended) box and choose Continue.
-
Revert to "ready for testing" – Choose this option to revert a finalized test for this application if you want to run further tests prior to initiating a cutover.
The Revert testing dialog will appear. Select whether you want to terminate the launched instances used for testing. It is recommended to terminate these instances, as you will be charged for them even though you will no longer need them. Check the Yes, terminate launched instances (recommended) box and choose Revert.
-
Launch cutover instances – Choose this option to launch cutover instances for this application servers after you have finalized all of your testing and are ready to initiate a cutover.
-
Finalize cutover – Choose this option to finalize the cutover for this application servers after you have successfully performed a cutover.
Note
This action does not uninstall the AWS Replication Agent from the source servers. When you have completed the migration and want to uninstall the agent from your source servers, go to Source servers page and select the relevant servers. Use the Disconnect from service option under the Actions menu.
-
Revert to "ready for cutover" – Choose this option to revert a finalized cutover for this application if you encounter any issues or want to reverse the cutover for any reason.
-
Start data replication – Choose this option to start replicating the application source servers.
Note
This action is applicable if all the application associated servers are Agentless snapshot based and are in Discovered lifecycle state.
-
Add applications to wave – Choose this option to associate the selected applications to a wave.
-
Archive applications – Choose this option to archive the selected applications. You should only archive applications for which you have already performed a cutover.
Important
An application can be archived only if all servers that compose it are in one of these states: archived, cutover, or disconnected. If that is the case, the application will be archived and the servers that are not yet archived (but can be) will also be archived.
Archived applications will be removed from the main applications page, but can still be accessed through the selector options.
