Deployment Guide
The default view of the Add New Plugins page lists all available updates and plugins that are not yet
installed on your system. You can configure the list to display all plugins (including those already
installed on the system) or just new plugins and updates. To change the list, click the
Display All
Plugins
or
Display Changed Plugins
link.The default selections include all new plugins and any
updated plugins that are available. To install the default selections, click the
Finish
button to
download and install the selected plugins.
When you select multiple available updates on the Add New Plugins page and click the Finish button, the
system updates them sequentially. If an update for one plugin cannot be completed—for example, due to
low disk space—the update for that plugin is cancelled. The other updates are not affected, and the system
continues to process the rest of the plugin updates in the queue.
Configuring Plugin Update Notifications
To have the system automatically check for plugin updates and provide notification when they are
available, go to the
Administrator > Plugin Manager
page and click the
Configure Update Checks
command. The Check for Plugin Updates page opens.
You can use the Plugin Updates form on this page to specify how often you want to be notified of plugin
updates. The notification frequency may be set to daily, weekly, monthly, or disabled (the default).
When new updates are available, the following notification message is displayed at the top of the page. This
message is only displayed to administrators.
.
Configuring Plugins
You can configure most standard, kernel, and skin plugins. To view or change a plugin’s configuration, go to
the
Administrator > Plugin Manager
page and click the
List Available Plugins
command. Depending
on the plugin, options in the Available Plugins list let you view details, configure, enable or disable, or
remove the plugin. Plugins cannot be disabled or removed if other enabled plugins are dependent on them.
An error message is displayed if an operation is attempted that would leave the application in an
inconsistent state.
To view or change the configuration settings for a plugin, click the plugin’s
Configuration
link. The
Configure Plugin
form shows the current configuration settings for a plugin, and allows you to make
changes to these settings.
Plugins cannot be updated while High Availability is running, as exact synchronization of the two servers is required
for High Availability Services. Please see
Destroying a Cluster
and
Cluster Setup
in the
High Availability Services
chapter.
