Install Crosswork Applications
This section explains how to install Crosswork applications on the Cisco Crosswork UI.
The Crosswork Network Controller applications are bundled as Essentials, Advantage, and Add-on packages (see Crosswork Applications for more information). Every package contains crosswork applications in a particular format unique to Crosswork known as CAPP (Crosswork APPlication). As a first step, the packages containing the application CAPP files (*.tar.gz) must be downloaded from cisco.com to a machine reachable from the Cisco Crosswork server. The package is then added to the Crosswork UI where the applications within can be installed.
You must first download the relevant Crosswork Netwok Contoller package (Essential or Advantage or Add-on) from cisco.com and then proceed to install the applications which are part of the package.

Once an application (or all applications) have been installed, check the health of the environment to make sure all the applications are healthy. It can take up to an hour for all the processes that make launch and for the applications to report as healthy. If after an hour a newly installed application is not healthy after an hour, contact the Cisco Customer Experience team. |
