On the settings page, you can change existing configuration values and link to additional console pages that assist you in configuring the application.

To manage a business-level application, enable the Select check box that corresponds to the application name in the list and click a button:

Table 1. Button descriptions . Use the buttons to manage business-level applications.
Button	Resulting action
Start	Attempts to run the application. After the application starts successfully, the state of the application changes to `Started` if the application starts on all deployment targets, else the state changes to `Partial Start`.
Stop	Attempts to stop the processing of the application. After the application stops successfully, the state of the application changes to `Stopped` if the application stops on all deployment targets, else the state changes to `Partial Stop`.
New	Opens a wizard that helps you add assets, shared libraries, or business-level applications as composition units to your application.
Delete	Deletes the application from the product configuration repository and deletes the application binaries from the file system of all nodes where the application modules are installed. On single-server installations, deletion occurs after the configuration is saved. On multiple-server installations, deletion occurs after the configuration is saved and synchronized with the nodes.

Name

Specifies the name of the business-level application. Application names must be unique within a cell and cannot contain an unsupported character.

Description

Specifies a description for the business-level application.

Status

Indicates whether the application deployed on the application server is started, stopped, or unknown.

Table 2. Application status . The status indicates whether the application is running.
Icon	Application status	Description
	Started	Application is running.
	Partial start	Application is in the process of changing from a `Stopped` state to a `Started` state. Application is starting to run but is not fully running yet. Or, it cannot fully start because a server mapped to one or more application modules is stopped.
	Stopped	Application is not running.
	Partial stop	Application is in the process of changing from a `Started` state to a `Stopped` state. Application has not stopped running yet.
	Unknown	Status cannot be determined. On single-server installations, an application with an unknown status might, in fact, be running but have an unknown status because the server running the administrative console cannot communicate with the server running the application.
	Pending	Status is temporarily unknown pending an event that a user did not initiate, such as pending an asynchronous call.
	Not applicable	Application does not provide information as to whether it is running.

The status of an application on a web server is always Unknown.
