The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco APIC-EM treats individual applications as separate from the core infrastructure. Specifically, individual applications can enabled to run on the controller or disabled using either the GUI or the CLI. The following applications are supported for this release:
PnP—Application that provides Network PnP services and functionality on the controller.
IWAN—Application that provides IWAN services and functionality on the controller.
Note | Each Cisco APIC-EM application bundle consists of service bundles, meta data files, and scripts; however for this specific release, application bundles are only provided as part of the ISO image. |
With this release, the Cisco APIC-EM treats individual applications as separate from the core infrastructure. Specifically, individual applications can now be enabled to run on the controller or disabled. For this release, Cisco APIC-EM only supports enabling or disabling the IWAN and PnP applications. Future releases will support additional applications with this functionality.
You can perform the application management procedures from the Applications tab in the Cisco APIC-EM GUI.
You must have successfully deployed the Cisco APIC-EM and it must be operational.
You must have administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) permissions and either access to all resources (RBAC scope set to ALL) or an RBAC scope that contains all of the resources that you want to group. For example, to create a group containing a specific set of resources, you must have access to those resources (custom RBAC scope set to all of the resources that you want to group).
For information about user permissions and RBAC scopes required to perform tasks using the Cisco APIC-EM, see "User Settings" in the chapter, "Configuring the Cisco APIC-EM Settings".
Enabling and disabling applications for the Cisco APIC-EM may involve controller downtime for a period of time. For this reason, we recommend that you schedule performing these procedures during your network off-peak hours or a maintenance time period.
Check the Installed Applications field. When the status for the application changes to Enable, then proceed to access and work with the application in the controller.
