Managing Apps

Once you have installed one or more apps onto a Liferay instance, you can manage the apps using the same local Liferay account that was used to download and install Marketplace apps. To see and manage the apps that you have installed, navigate to the control panel, click on the Marketplace tab, and then click on the Purchased tab.

Figure 9.13: Additional Information for Purchased Apps

This tab is similar to the Purchased tab on liferay.com/marketplace, except that additional options are now available for each app.

On the far right side of the listing, the Status column lists the current status for each installed app:

Installed - The app has been successfully deployed and is now running.
Failed - The app failed to deploy properly
Disabled - The app has been successfully deployed, but has been disabled

If an app failed to deploy, check your log files and attempt to determine the cause. To retry the install, click Retry Install.

If a newer version of an app is available, you will see an Update tab - click this to update the app to the latest available version.

To disable an app, click Disable. The app will be disabled and any services it provides will not be available, but the app remains installed. You can re-enable the app by clicking Enable.
