Installing or Updating an Add-on

The integration of the standard add-ons in the web application:

• simplifies the installation or the upgrade process.

• makes it easier for customers to manage their add-ons and access the features they need.

If you are installing or upgrading to iObeya 4.16 or an upper version, the following procedure only applies to customer-specific add-ons, as the standard add-ons are integrated in each new version of iObeya.

Warning:

• This procedure is an extra step to the standard installation or upgrade procedure of iObeya.

• Stop the application server before you install or upgrade an add-on.

• Refer to:

  • Installation Guide for details.  

  • Upgrade Guide for details.

When you install or update your iObeya platform, you need to install or update your customer-specific add-ons to the latest version compatible with the version of iObeya you are installing.

Please contact our Support team to obtain a version of your customer-specific add-ons that corresponds to the version of iObeya you want to install.

Here are the steps required to install or update your add-ons when you install or update iObeya:
