Installing Plugins

If you have created a custom plugin or are using a plugin that is not installed by default, you will need to install it into the Java application server under which Release Control (SBM) is running. You will need to install a default plugin only if the plugin has been removed from your system or if you are adding a new version of the plugin.

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

For information on upgrading plugins, refer to the latest Readme on Documentation Center.

To install a plugin into the Java library:

1. Download the plugin zip file and extract the plugin jar files that you want to install.

   The file names are as follows:

   Atlassian JIRA Software:

   rlc-provider-jira-1.0.jar

   CA Nolio:

   rlc-client-nolio-1.1.jar

   and

   rlc-provider-nolio-1.1.jar

   ChangeMan ZMF:

   rlc-client-zmf-2.1.jar

   and

   rlc-provider-zmf-2.1.jar

   Dimensions CM:

   rlc-client-dim-1.1.jar

   and

   rlc-provider-dim-1.1.jar

   (Note: These include the default and request plugins.)

   Jenkins:

   rlc-provider-jenkins-1.0.jar

   SBM:

   rlc-client-sbm-6.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

   and

   rlc-provider-sbm-6.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

   SDA:

   rlc-client-sda-6.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

   (Note: This includes the snapshot and component version plugins.)

   ServiceNow:

   rlc-provider-servicenow-1.0.jar

2. Copy the plugin jar files according to the version of Release Control you are using.
   • If you are using Release Control 6.1 or higher, do the following:
     1. Copy the jar files to the \WEB-INF\lib location under the Release Control service. For example:

        C:\Program Files\Serena\SBM\Common\Tomcat 7.0\server\default\webapps\rlc\WEB-INF\lib

     2. Restart SBM Tomcat.
   • If you are using Release Control 6.0.1, do the following:
     1. Copy the jar files to the \WEB-INF\lib location under the Release Control service. For example:

        C:\Program Files\Serena\SBM\Common\jboss405\server\default\deploy\rlc.war\WEB-INF\lib

     2. Restart JBoss.
     Note: If you are using an earlier version of Release Control, refer to the plugin documentation posted with that version of Release Control.
