Do any of the following:

Add a task to start, stop, or uninstall an application

2. In the Application Id/Name menu, select an application.

   If the application is not on the list, then do either of the following:

   Update the app-id-version.txt file

   Note: You can find the configuration file at DDUAppFolder/config where DDUAppFolder is the location of the DDU folder.

   1. Using the text editor, open the app‑id‑version.txt file.

   2. Type AppID=AppName:ver1,ver2,ver3 , where AppName is the friendly name, AppID is the application ID, and ver1,ver2,ver3 are application versions separated by a comma.

   3. Save the file.

      Note:

      • To show only the application ID in the menu, type AppID=:ver2, ver3.Adding AppID using this method applies it on the entire session.

   Type the application ID

   In the Application Id/Name menu, type the application ID.

   Note: This option does not update the app-id-version.txt file. The added application ID is only available for the created workflow. Adding AppID using this method does not apply it on the entire session.
