Upgrading Plugins and Portlets After an Upgrade of Orchestrator

During an upgrade, plugins are not upgraded automatically and new portlets are not enabled by default; the steps below will allow you to update these as needed.

  1. Go to Engine > Plugins and click Available Plugins to see the newer plugins.
    Each plugin contains a Revision History screen providing details about the newer plugin. After reviewing the revision history, upgrade the plugin and force maintenance. For more details on plugin installation and upgrading, refer to the Orchestrator User Guide.
  2. Find out if any new plugins are not already enabled by selecting Not enabled only, and enable them if necessary.
    Note: In a production system, upgrade the new plugins individually only when necessary (compare the previous version with the current released version). It is advisable to test them in pre-production first to make sure that the new plugins operate well with the existing workflows.
  3. Click Engine > Plugins > Reload Plugins, and then click Engine > Processes > Force Maintenance to set the new code.
  4. If the new portlets are not enabled, and they are needed, click Engine > Portlets > Enable all.
  5. Test your workflows to make sure they function properly after the upgrade.
