Scripted checking for new available plugin version

[Mark Roethof]

Hi all,

Haven't found it yet, so thought... let's post on the community 🙂

Any ideas if and how it would be possible, to check scripted, if there's a new version of a plugin available? For example see the below image where the current version is 23.0.7 while there are already 3 newer versions available.

Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I dont know if we can get all the versions which are not installed but I was able to get the latest version with following script.

var versionGR = new GlideRecord("sys_store_app");
versionGR .addQuery('scope','sn_ex_sp');
versionGR .query();
if(versionGR .next())
{
if(versionGR .latest_version != versionGR .version)
gs.info("Latest Version : " + versionGR .latest_version);

}

That gave me a good lead! Never noticed that the latest_version was also on the record.

With knowing both fields, I now was able to create a nice Instance Scan Check.

Kind regards,
Mark

Instead of me having to grind/build something - would you mind sharing that script?
