Scenario: sharing a MARS app

This scenario includes the context and approach for sharing a MARS app with another User.

Context

Some time ago, Rick, a support engineer at Future Software, experienced some performance issues on his CLOUDFLOW system. To test it, he installed the public MARS app quickbenchmark (see Scenario: installing a public MARS app). Currently, one of his customers, Wernham Hogg Labels, also experiences performance issues on their CLOUDFLOW system. Rick wants to check what the problem is by using the MARS app quickbenchmark on the customer's system. Wernham Hogg Labels does not have access to the public MARS apps on the CLOUDFLOW of Future Software, so Rick has to share the MARS app with Wernham Hogg Labels.

Approach

Rick takes the following steps:
  1. He logs in to CLOUDFLOW with his username and password.
  2. He opens MARS > My Apps > Installed. This list gives an overview of all the MARS apps that are installed on Rick's local system.
  3. Next to the MARS app quickbenchmark, he selects Upload to MARS.
  4. He selects Upload to MARS.
  5. He opens MARS > My Apps > Available.
  6. Next to the MARS app quickbenchmark, he selects Details.
  7. He selects Share with ... and enters Wernham Hogg Labels' customer code: BE-WHL.
  8. He selects Share.

The MARS app approvalportalwhl is now shared on Wernham Hogg Labels' personal space on MARS and can be installed and used by Rick to test their performance. The MARS app cannot be edited.
