System Administration
Make Changes to a Plugin
Changes may need to be made to the plugin. Once the assembly has been created, verify plugins were created. If plugins are missing:
- Check the assembly to be sure the Plugin Installer attributes were sent and that the plugin classes are Public.
-
Ensure the correct DLL file is referenced in the Relative Assembly Path.
NOTE: The Relative Assembly Path displays the plugin assembly name relative to the UserArea\[WebAppID]\Processes folder, where UserArea is the Stewardship Tier folder on the application server where all assemblies are stored and WebAppID is the GUID specific to the WebApp. If the DLL is in the Processes folder, only the assembly name displays. If the DLL is in another folder or a sub-folder, the assembly name and the path display. For example, with an assembly called "myassembly.dll" located in the Processes folder, the Relatively Assembly Path displays "myassembly.dll." However, if that assembly was in a sub-folder called "bin," the Relative Assembly Path displays "bin\myassembly.dill."
To make changes to the plugin:
- Copy the new file to the User Area folder.
- Log in to the Stewardship Tier.
- Select Admin > WebApps in the Navigation pane.
- Click the Plugins icon for the desired WEBAPP NAME.
- Click Vertical View for the ASSEMBLY.
-
Click Repair.
NOTE: Once the assembly has been repaired, one or more events may still reference the missing plugins. The framework looks at the DLL (assembly) again and check for any new plugins or changes to the existing plugins.
