Installing Plugins

Default plugins are installed by the Release Control installer.

If you have created a custom plugin, are using a plugin version that is not installed by default, or are restoring a plugin, you will need to install it.

If the plugin (or version of the plugin) you want to use is already installed, continue with Adding Plugins.

For information on upgrading plugins, see the latest Plugins Release Notes on Documentation Center.

To install a plugin:

1. Download the plugin jar files that you want to install from the Support website, under the latest version of Release Control.

   The latest plugin file names are as follows:

   Atlassian JIRA Software:

   rlc-provider-jira-3.3.jar

   CA Release Automation:

   rlc-client-nolio-3.2.jar

   ChangeMan ZMF:

   rlc-client-zmf-3.4.jar

   Dimensions CM:

   rlc-client-dim-3.4.jar

   Jenkins:

   rlc-provider-jenkins-3.4.jar

   SBM:

   rlc-provider-sbm-3.4.jar

   Deployment Automation:

   rlc-provider-da-3.3.jar

   ServiceNow:

   rlc-provider-servicenow-3.3.jar

   Silk Central:

   rlc-provider-silkcentral-1.1.jar

2. For Release Control version 6.2 or later only, copy the jar files to the Release Control plugins installation directory. For example:

   C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Release Control\Plugins

   Important: Plugins version 3.0 and later are supported only for Release Control version 6.2 and later. For installation instructions for earlier plugin versions with earlier versions of Release Control, see the plugin Quick References for those versions.
