Manage rollouts
Start, pause, and resume a rollout
Select the newly created rollout on the list of rollouts. This automatically opens the Rollout details view and the Status view.
In the Status view, click the start icon 
to start the rollout execution and the pause icon 
to pause the rollout execution.
To resume the execution of a paused rollout, click the start icon again.
If the start option is manual you have to click the start icon to trigger the rollout execution.
For the other start options, the initial start happens automatically.
Trigger next group
By default, the rollout execution must be finished for one group in order to start for the next group.
However, this is not always efficient. Therefore, the trigger next group icon 
allows you to manually trigger the rollout execution for the next defined group.
Approve or deny a rollout
When enabled in the System configuration view of the Classic Management UI, the approval workflow demands that an approver must accept or deny a rollout before it can be started.
The approver can be for example the product manager, who should check the created rollout based on its properties and rollout group structure, and decide whether the rollout can be started or needs to be fixed first.
Thus after a rollout is created, as described in Create a rollout, it is waiting for an approval. This is indicated by the Waiting for approval 
hyperlink within the Status view.
The relevant user who has the APPROVE_ROLLOUT role can approve or deny the rollout. There are two ways to access the respective dialog:
either by clicking the Waiting for approval
hyperlink mentioned above, orby clicking the
icon in the Rollout details view and then the 
Approve/Deny option from the menu.
This opens a dialogue where the approver can write down an optional remark and choose whether to Approve or Deny the rollout by clicking the corresponding button.
If the rollout is approved, it is ready to start. If the rollout is denied, it cannot be edited or approved anymore, but only be copied or deleted.
The approval workflow is different from the user consent flow, which is presented in the UI through confirmation required checkbox in the rollout creation wizard.
With the approval workflow, the approval needs to be granted by an authorized user from the team.
With the user consent flow, the confirmation that the rollout is accepted and can be applied on the respective device, needs to be granted by the end user of the device.
Both the approval workflow and the user consent flow can be activated for a rollout and do not interfere with each other.
Delete a rollout
To delete a rollout you need the DELETE_ROLLOUT permission.
It is possible to delete any software rollouts which are no longer relevant, even such that have already started.
For that, click the configure icon
and in the menu that opens, select the 
Delete action.
You will be prompted to confirm your choice. After confirmation, the rollout will be deleted.
In case the rollout was already started, the confirmation dialog informs of what happens with the started actions.
Hard deletion
If you confirm the deletion of a rollout which has not started yet, it will be removed completely from the Bosch IoT Rollouts repository, i.e. it will be hard deleted.
Soft deletion
If you confirm the deletion of a rollout which has started already, it will be only soft deleted. It means that the rollout will still be available in the repository but not presented on the list of rollouts in the UI.
All its running actions will continue, whereas all its scheduled actions will be deleted.
In such cases, in the action history of the involved targets you will see only the already running actions.
Because of the soft deletion, if you attempt to create a new rollout with the same name, you will be informed that the given entity already exists in database.
