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).
