Manage tenant actions
You can create, update and delete a tenant asynchronously. Initiating a tenant action creates a background task to perform that action. You can continue to use the Tenant Management system even if these actions are in progress.
When a tenant action is in progress, it displays the following statuses depending on the action being performed:
-
Creating
-
Updating
-
Deleting
On completion of the action (creating or updating), the tenant becomes active.
When an action is in progress for a tenant, another action cannot be performed.
If a tenant action fails, the system does the following:
-
Displays the following statuses depending on the action that failed:
-
Create Failed
-
Update Failed
-
Delete Failed
-
-

If a tenant action fails, you can retry the action. If retry fails, you can recover the tenant with the previous working configuration.
- On the Tenant Management System page, click Tenant Actions > Retry.
-
To recover an action, click
Tenant Actions >
Recover.
Recover tenant action deletes the tenant data for the Create Failed action.
Activate and deactivate a tenant
You can activate the development or production status of a specific tenant, and also de-activate an active tenant.
When there are multiple inactive and active tenants, you can activate and deactivate all these tenants at one go.
You can activate the development status of a tenant only if the tenant version is 7.2.1 or higher.
