Upgrade a Plugin to a Newer Version

AppViewX uses plugins for specific functionalities. The advantage of using plugins is that we can upgrade each one independently without affecting other running plugins.

The following is an example of how to upgrade an avx_subsystem_queue plugin from v1.0.0 to v1.0.3

  1. Check the status of the plugins that are currently running by entering the following command: appviewx --status plugins avx_platform_queue
  2. Download the plugins you want to install in the following location with the file name Plugins.tar.gz.<user_home_directory>
  3. Initiate the plugin upgrade process by entering the following command: $ appviewx --upgrade plugins <user_home_directory>/Plugins.tar.gz
    The plugin upgrade starts.
  4. After the upgrade process is complete, check the status of the plugins by entering the following command: appviewx --status plugins avx_platform_queue
  5. Perform a gateway refresh by entering the following command: $ appviewx --gwrefresh
