Creating Appliances › Move the Appliance to a Catalog

Move the Appliance to a Catalog

If you don't need to create multiple instances of the appliance in your current application or in general, you may skip this section and leave the appliance as a singleton in your application. If you want to create multiple instances, however, move it to the catalog.

To move the appliance to the catalog

1. Log in on your appliance and clean up any unnecessary files from the class volume (logs, SSH keys, bash and mysql history, and so on).
2. Log out and stop the application.
3. In the editor, select the catalog you want to put the appliance in (for example, the global catalog (global) or the application-specific catalog (catalog)).
4. Drag the your (singleton) appliance into the catalog.
5. Confirm when asked if it is OK to save the application.

   The new appliance is added to the catalog. Now you can instantiate the appliance in your application(s).

Note: If the move to catalog fails saying that the common volumes of an appliance must be read-only and shared, open the class editor over the singleton appliance. Go to the Volumes tab. Verify that all volumes of type 'Common' (usually named usr) are marked as read-only and shared. This will allow CA 3Tera AppLogic to share the common volume between all instances of the appliance (if you don't want that, change the volume type to instantiable). Close the class editor and try to move the appliance to the catalog again.
