Overview
In this tutorial, we will upload an App and show how it successfully passes all the upload sequence tests to ensure it's ready for streaming.
The Test Sequence consists of six tests performed on the zip file.
Instructions
Step 1. Follow Part 1 of the tutorial
Complete all the steps in this tutorial.
Step 2. Upload your App
In this Step, we will click the Upload Button and see how the App undergoes 6 Tests in the Upload Sequence to finally get uploaded, installed and ready to Launch from the New Control Panel.
Follow the steps below :
1. Check the Upload Sequence Tests
Color code :
Green : Pass
Red : Error
Yellow : Warning
2. Test 1 : ‘Application Reviewed’ is done
This Test is done right after the Archive selection from the Computer.
‘Application Reviewed’ : The 1st test conducted after selecting the Zip file is reviewing it.
In this test, the system checks :
If the zip file contains a Packaged Unreal Engine App.
If there is an exe in it.
If the Pixel Streaming plugin is enabled or not. (To enable it, refer to this document).
If the test is successful (i.e. green color) then the App is ready to move to Test 2.
3. Click Upload
Clicking ‘Upload’ will move the App from Test 1 : ‘Application Reviewed’ to Test 2.
This was possible only because Test 1 : ‘Application Reviewed’ passed. (i.e. green color).
At this point, the Upload process will start.
4. Test 2: ‘Uploading Application’ in progress
‘Uploading Application’ : 2nd test. The system automatically starts uploading once you click ‘Upload’.
Click ‘Cancel’ to stop the upload process.
'Minimize' the upload page; the App will continue uploading and display the progress. (See image 3).
Note:
If the Upload process gets interrupted, the test fails (i.e. error in Red). (See image below).
Click 'Retry’ to upload again. This will take you back to Step 3.
5. Test 2 : ‘Uploading Application’ is done
At 50%, Test 2 : ‘Application Uploaded' is successful (i.e. green color) so the App is done uploading.
Now, the Sequence moves to Test 3 : 'Acquiring App' and it starts Loading automatically.
6. Test 3 : 'Acquiring Application' in progress
Now the installation process starts (4 tests are conducted during the Installation).
‘Acquiring Application’ : 3rd Test conducted. It automatically starts when the App is done uploading at 50% and starts the installation process.
The Acquiring phase, is the first test conducted in the installation process. For more details refer to this document.
7. Test 3 : 'Acquiring Application' is done
Now, Test 3 : ‘Acquiring App’ is done (i.e. green color), the Sequence moves immediately to Test 4 : ‘Preparing Application’ which starts Loading.
8. Test 4 : 'Preparing Application' in progress
‘Preparing Application’ : 4th Test conducted to prepare the App for the next 2 tests.
9. Test 4 : 'Preparing Application' is done
Once Test 4 : ‘Preparing Application’ is done (i.e. green color), Test 5 : ‘Queued for testing’ instantly starts Loading.
10. Test 5 : 'Queued for Testing' in progress
‘Queued for Testing’ : 5th Test conducted. It starts once the App is Acquired and Prepared successfully.
At this point, the installation is almost done.
Note: If multiple apps are uploaded simultaneously, they will be queued, and this test may take longer to complete.
11. Test 5 : 'Queued for Testing' is done
Test 5 : ‘Queued for testing' is done (i.e. green color) and Test 6 : 'Testing Application’ instantly starts Loading.
12. Test 6 : ‘Testing Application’ in progress
‘Testing Application’ : 6th test conducted. It starts once the previous test : ‘Queued for Testing’ is successful.
This is the last test conducted. Its purpose is to make sure the App is ready for streaming.
