Import a Plug-in

This topic describes how to import custom plug-ins.

About this task

Follow these steps to import each custom plug-in to Operations Hub. Plug-ins also get imported when they are used in an application that you import to Operations Hub.
Note: In case you imported a newer version of an existing plugin, you need to revisit the application pages (designer) wherever the old version was in use.
  1. Delete the old plugin version from the container. All plugin configuration settings are lost when you delete the old version.
  2. Add the new plugin version to replace the deleted one. Reconfigure the settings for the new version.

You can also use a third party client (for example, Postman) to import plug-ins. Send a post request to https://enter your machine name/site/ajax/plugin

Procedure

  1. In the main navigation menu, select PLUGINS.
    The PLUGINS workspace appears.

  2. Select Import.
  3. Navigate to and select the plug-in that you want to import, and then select Open.
    The plug-in is imported.
    Note: If the plug-in name contains special characters, then the plug-in is not imported. You must fix the plug-in name to import it to Operations Hub. However, existing plug-ins containing special characters in their name are allowed in Operations Hub as long as they are not deleted.

Results

In the page designer of an application, the imported plug-in appears in the CUSTOM section.

What to do next

Use the plug-in in an application.
