Updating multiple NPMs in iManager

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 12 Oct 2005

Q:
Is there an easy way to install or upgrade multiple modules in an existing iManager 2.5 configuration? In other words, I'd rather not have to install one by one, browse to each, etc.

A:
There is an easy way to install multiple Novell Plug-in Modules (NPMs) in iManager 2.5. To do this,

1. Copy all of the NPM files to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/nps/packages directory on you iManager server.
2. Launch iManager and go to Configure > Module Installation > Available Novell Plug-in Modules. You should now see all of the modules that you copied to the packages directory in the list displayed.
3. Check the boxes next to the modules you want to install and click the 'Install' link at the top of the table. You can install one or all of the modules in the list.
4. After installing, you will have to restart Tomcat.
