Deploying Maximo Manage

You deploy Maximo Manage in the Maximo Application Suite user interface.

1. On side navigation menu, in the Suite > Administration page, click Catalog and on the Applications tab, select the Manage tile.
2. On the Setup tab, review the information.
   1. If you plan to co-deploy industry solutions or add-ons with Manage, click Show all. Next, click the plus icon on the respective tile of each industry solution or add-on that you want to co-deploy to reserve the necessary AppPoints for them.
   2. Click Continue.
3. Select your application update method.
   Note: If you choose an automatic upgrade strategy, required downtime might occur before you have a chance to take preparatory action, such as reviewing changes or backing up the database. For production Maximo Manage deployments, set the approval mode to Off.

   With manual updates, you must trigger the updates yourself. Review the changes, run backups of the Maximo Manage configuration and custom resource definitions, schedule the update, and communicate the scheduled downtime to users.

   1. Select an update method.
      To subscribe to automatic updates, set Automatic approval to On. When new application updates are available, they are added to the channel and automatically updated in your Maximo Application Suite instance.
      To subscribe to manual updates, set Automatic approval to Off. When new application updates are available, you receive a notification, and you can manually approve the updates.
   2. Subscribe to a channel by selecting a version from the list.
      For example, select channel 8.x.x, 8.x, 9.x.x, or 9.x.
   3. Click Subscribe to channel <version>
   Wait for the deployment to be completed on the Manage page.
