Plug-ins can be installed at any time. You do not need
to restart the server after installing a plug-in.
About this task
You can upgrade a plug-in by installing the new version over
the old version.
Procedure
- Download the installation files for one or more plug-ins
from the following site:https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugins/ibm-urbancode-deploy/
Documentation for plug-ins
and the steps in the plug-ins is available on that site.
- Load the plug-ins:
- For automation plug-ins, click and click Load
Plugin.
- For source plug-ins, click and click Load
Plugin.
- Enter the path to the compressed plug-in file, and then
click Submit.
Results
The plug-in is listed on either the
Automation Plug-ins pane
or the
Source Config Plugins pane. After the
plug-in is installed, it is available immediately.
Note: You cannot
roll back a plug-in version to a previous version. To move to a previous
version of a plug-in, follow these steps:
- Uninstall the later version of the plug-in. Now, in all processes,
steps from that plug-in are shown with the text "PLUGIN DELETED."
The processes cannot run until you install a new version of the plug-in
and recreate the steps.
Note: If the plug-in is used in one or more
snapshots, the server retains the pertinent steps to avoid breaking
the snapshots. However, you cannot add these steps to new processes
after you delete the plug-in.
- Install the earlier version of the plug-in.
- In each process that used steps from that plug-in, recreate the
steps and delete the steps that are labeled "PLUGIN DELETED." The
process steps do not work until you recreate them, even if you have
installed a new version of the plug-in.
