Managing Plug-ins

After a plug-in has been added, you may upgrade it to another (generally, newer) version. You may also disable a plug-in if necessary for troubleshooting, and then (re)activate it.

You may initiate an action only for plug-ins on the DSView 3 server you are currently logged into.

The plug-in must currently have an administrative status that allows the action (for example, you can activate a plug-in only if its current administrative status is disabled).
