Upgrading a Connector

Installation : Upgrading Exalead CloudView : Upgrading a Connector

This section describes how to upgrade a connector configuration in Exalead CloudView. For example, when you want to upgrade myconnector-plugin-v1.0 to myconnector-plugin-2.0 and have existing connectors compatible with the new version.

Exalead CloudView must be running.

1. Implement the upgrade-config capability in your connector.

See "Maintaining a Connector Configuration across Versions" in the Exalead CloudView Connector Programmer's Guide.

2. In the Administration Console, select Deployment > Plugins.

3. Delete the old connector plugin.

4. Upload the new connector plugin.

5. Go to the <DATADIR>\bin directory and run:

cvadmin connect upgrade-config name=<MY CONNECTOR>

Where <MY CONNECTOR> is the name of your connector (as shown in the Administration Console > Connectors menu).

The connector configuration upgrades to the new version.
