Managing applications
=====================
In murano, each application, as well as the form of application data entry,
is defined by its package. The murano dashboard allows you to import and
manage packages as well as search, filter, and add applications from catalog
to environments.
This section provides detailed instructions on how to import application
packages into murano and then add applications to an environment and deploy
it. This section also shows you how to find component details, application
topology, and deployment logs.
Import an application package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several ways of importing an application package into
murano:
* :ref:`from a zip file <ui_zip>`
* :ref:`from murano applications repository <ui_repo>`
* :ref:`from bundles of applications <ui_bundles>`
.. _ui_zip:
From a zip file
---------------
Perform the following steps to import an application package from a
.zip file:
#. In OpenStack dashboard, navigate to
:menuselection:`Applications > Manage > Packages`.
#. Click the :guilabel:`Import Package` button on the top right of the
page.
.. image:: figures/import_package.png

:width: 630 px
#. From the :guilabel:`Package source` drop-down list
choose :guilabel:`File`, then click :guilabel:`Browse` to select a
.zip file you want to import, and then click :guilabel:`Next`.
.. image:: figures/browse_zip_file.png
:alt: Import Package dialog: zip file
:width: 630 px
#. At this step, the package is already uploaded. Choose a category
from the :guilabel:`Application Category` menu. You can select
multiple categories while holding down the :kbd:`Ctrl` key. If
necessary, verify and update the information about the package,
then click the :guilabel:`Create` button.
.. image:: figures/add_pkg_info.png
:alt: Import Package dialog: Description
:width: 630 px
.. note::
Though specifying a category is optional, we recommend that you
specify at least one. It helps to filter applications in the
catalog.
| Green messages appear at the top right corner when the application
is successfully uploaded. In case of a failure, you will see a red
message with the problem description. For more information, please
refer to the logs.
.. _ui_repo:
From a repository
-----------------
Perform the following steps to import an application package from
murano applications repository:
.. note::
To import an application package from a repository, you need to
know the full name of the package. For the packages names, go to
http://apps.openstack.org/#tab=murano-apps and click on the desired
package to see its full name.
#. In OpenStack dashboard, navigate to
:menuselection:`Applications > Manage > Packages`.
#. Click the :guilabel:`Import Package` button on the top right of the
page.
.. image:: figures/import_package.png
:alt: Packages page: Import Package 2
:width: 630 px
#. From the :guilabel:`Package source` drop-down list,
choose :guilabel:`Repository`, enter the package name, and then
click :guilabel:`Next`. Note that you may also specify the version
of the package.
.. image:: figures/repository.png
:alt: Import Package dialog: Repository
:width: 630 px
#. At this step, the package is already uploaded. Choose a category
from the :guilabel:`Application Category` menu. You can select
multiple categories while holding down the :kbd:`Ctrl` key. If
necessary, verify and update the information about the package,
then click the :guilabel:`Create` button.
.. image:: figures/add_pkg_info.png
:alt: Import Package dialog: Description
:width: 630 px
.. _ui_bundles:
From a bundle of applications
-----------------------------
Perform the following steps to import a bundle of applications:
.. note::
To import an application bundle from a repository, you need
to know the full name of the package bundle. To find it out, go
to http://apps.openstack.org/#tab=murano-apps and click on the
desired bundle to see its full name.
#. In OpenStack dashboard, navigate to
:menuselection:`Applications > Manage > Packages`.
#. Click the :guilabel:`Import Bundle` button on the top right of the
page.
.. image:: figures/import_bundle.png

:alt: Import Bundle dialog
:width: 630 px
Search for an application in the catalog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you have imported many applications and want to quickly find
a required one, you can filter them by category, tags and words that
the application name or description contains:
In OpenStack dashboard, navigate to :menuselection:`Applications > Catalog
> Browse`.
The page is divided into two sections:
* **Recent Activity** shows the most recently imported or deployed
applications.
* The bottom section contains all the available applications sorted
alphabetically.
To view all the applications of a specific category, select it from
the :guilabel:`App Category` drop-down list:
.. image:: figures/app_category.png
:alt: Applications page: App Category
:width: 630 px
To filter applications by tags or words from the application name or
description, use the rightmost filter:
.. image:: figures/app_filter.png
:alt: Applications page: Filter
:width: 630 px
.. note::
Tags can be specified during the import of an application package.
For example, there is an application that has the word
*document-oriented* in description. Let's find it with the filter.
The following screenshot shows you the result.

.. _application-topology:
Application topology
--------------------
Once you add an application to your environment, the application topology of
this environment becomes available in a separate tab. The topology represents
an elastic diagram showing the relationship between a component and the
infrastructure it runs on. To view the topology:
#. In OpenStack dashboard, navigate to
:menuselection:`Applications > Catalog > Environments`.
#. Click the name of the necessary environment.
#. Click the :guilabel:`Topology` tab.
The topology is helpful to visually display complex components, for example
Kubernetes. The red icons reflect errors during the deployment while the green
ones show success.

If the application that you are deleting has already been deployed,
you should redeploy the environment to apply the recent changes.
If the environment has not been deployed with this component,
the changes are applied immediately on receiving the confirmation.
.. warning::
Due to a known bug in murano as of Kilo release, the OS resources
allocated by a deleted application might not be reclaimed until
you delete the environment. See the `Deallocating stack resources
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/murano/+spec/deallocating-stack-resources>`_
blueprint for details.
