To build or deploy an application you must first open the application by double-clicking or right-clicking on it in the Project Explorer and selecting Open.

On the Execute tab you will see two sections titled Current State of Application Deployments and Application Activity.

The Current State of Application Deployments indicates which environments contain which application requests. If an application has not been deployed to an environment it will not appear in the list. This provides an easy to access summary of this application's current deployment state across all environments.

The Application Activity identifies all build and deployment requests along with the execution status for each request, whether completed/failed or in progress. The Request Status column provides details pertaining to the build or deployment request that was submitted. The table below describes the status lifecycle of an application request.

Object Type	Status	Description
Application Request	Initiated	The initial status that a request receives when it has first been submitted.
	Pending Approval	Indicates that one or more approvals are required before the request will be sent for execution.
	Scheduled	Indicates that the request has been scheduled for execution at some time in the future.
	Rejected	Indicates that an approval task or scheduled task for the request has been rejected/cancelled.
	Aborted	The request was aborted by the user for one or more of the projects in the application.
	Ready	Indicates that request is has received any required approvals or reached any scheduled time and is ready to begin execution.
	Completed	The request has successfully executed.
	Failed	The request failed for one or more of the projects in the application.

Monitoring Application Workflow Requests

Once an application build or deployment request has been submitted it can be monitored by clicking the Refresh button and watching the statuses progress throughout the lifecycle, until it is either failed or completed. To view the Application Execution Details, including project-level detail, click the id in the Application Request column in the Application Activity section.

The Application Execution Details shows the status of the Application Request and the details of the request. The overall status of the request is based off both: any configured Approvals or Windows and the corresponding Tasks and each Project Workflow Executions, under the application, included in the request.

The Project Workflow Executions section provides the execution details for each project contained within the application. To view execution details for a specific project click on the id in the Execution Id column.
