Scenario: installing a public MARS app

This scenario includes the context and approach for installing a MARS app that is publicly available on MARS.

Context

Rick, a support engineer at Future Software, experiences some performance issues on his CLOUDFLOW system. He wants to test it using the MARS app quickbenchmark.

quickbenchmark is a MARS app that tests the performance of your CLOUDFLOW system. It is publicly available on MARS and can be installed by everyone who has a CLOUDFLOW system with a MARS license. The MARS app must not be edited after installation.

Rick has not yet installed quickbenchmark before, so he has to install the MARS app.

Approach

Rick takes the following steps:
  1. He logs in to CLOUDFLOW with his username and password.
  2. He opens MARS > Public > Available. This list gives an overview of all the CLOUDFLOW Applications that are publicly available and can be installed.
  3. Next to the MARS app quickbenchmark, he selects Install.
The MARS app is installed locally on Rick's system.
