Can you Preserve Plugins after a Clone?

[Jordan G]

Is it possible to preserve plugins after a clone to easily reapply the plugins to non-prods? 

Thank you!

It's not just a question of installing, preserving plugin.

Why do you install plugin on your instance? 

You want to evaluate, activate some functionality on instance and hence you create some records, references etc objects related to these plugins.

e.g if you install PPM plugins, you will want to evaluate PPM functionality.

If you just re-install plugin after clone, what about existing objects related to this plugins before clone? Do you take backup of so many different objects?

Yes I agree, and that's exactly what I asked in a previous post. Though response: not necessary, only re-install would be fine.

I've got a nice new subject to write an article on the coming days 🙂 To re-install a plugin, and to restore the data.

Kind regards,
