Application Management Overview

From the Platform > Administration > Manage Applications task, the administrator can manage the Junos Space Network Application Platform (platform) and all other separately packaged applications by performing the following tasks:

Note: The Junos Space Upgrade image includes the platform, Service Now, and Service Insight. Other Junos Space applications are separately packaged in image files. The administrator must download application files from the Juniper Networks Web site to the local client file system. The administrator must upload an application file in Junos Space. Once uploaded, Junos Space installs or upgrades the application. When the application is installed, you can launch it from Application Chooser. When you upgrade Network Application Platform, all applications except Service Now are disabled. Upgrade all disabled applications to the current release. Users in an upgraded application’s workspace are directed to Application Chooser.
