After you upgrade successfully to CPBM version 2.5 from the previous versions, you can find that the project mode is not enabled. By default, the project.support.enabled parameter has been set to false. To view this, navigate to Administration > Configuration > Portal > Server.

1. To enable the project mode, run the following database query in your CloudPortal Business Manager database:

                update configuration set value='true' where  name='com.citrix.cpbm.portal.server.project.support.enabled';

2. After you enable the flag, restart the CloudPortal Business Manager service.

                service cloud-portal restart

After restarting the service successfully, verify the value of the project.support.enabled parameter at ROOT > Administrator > Configuration > Portal > Server. This appears as follows:
project.support.enabled   {true}
