Scenario: updating a public MARS app

This scenario includes the context and approach for updating a MARS app that was installed from the public space on MARS.

Context

Rick, a support engineer at Future Software installed the public MARS app quickbenchmark, for testing the performance of his computer (see Scenario: installing a public MARS app). An updated version of quickbenchmark is now available on MARS. Since Rick uses the MARS app quickbenchmark on a regular basis, he wants to install the updated version. This means that he has to update his installed version of 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 > Installed. This list gives an overview of all the MARS app that have been installed locally in Rick's system.
  3. Next to the MARS app quickbenchmark, he selects Update.
The MARS app quickbenchmark that is installed on Rick's local system is now updated to the latest version that is publicly available on MARS.
