Importing a Plugin

Importing a plugin enables that plugin inside Orchestrator’s plugin repository. If that plugin was previously enabled, all components and settings for that plugin (code, version, functionality) will be overwritten by new instance of the plugin being imported. If no prior instance of the plugin is found in the repository, which is usually the case with newly developed plugins, the plugin being imported will create a new entry in the plugin manager.

  1. On the Installed Plugins screen (Engine > Plugins), click Import Plugin.


    The Upload an Action Plugin File for Import dialog appears.
  2. Click Browse and select a plugin file, then click Open.
    Note: A valid plugin has a .plugin extension, and it has a version number not lower than 0_0_1.
    The name of the plugin appears next to the Browse button.

  3. Click Upload to install the plugin.
    Installed Plugin screen displays a status message regarding the import process (a success message if the import completes, and an error message if the import is unsuccessful).
