Updating outdated plugins in servicenow

Hello everyone,

 

I have 132 plugins available for updates. Do you know how I can do this? Should we need to update one by one or is there any way to do this simultaneously?

Hi @Kishor O 

 

You can refer this link 

https://www.servicenow.com/community/api-insights-forum/batch-update-plugins/m-p/2995250/page/2

or practically what i did manually, ( as old school guy)

 

open the plugins 1-1 by in separate windows max 1o plugins each time.

You can take first 5 from 1st page and next 5 from last page of plugins

then click on update and while doing this, just see if there any dependency you found ( i found very few )

- so pick those plugins and update , bcz if you update the kind of parent plugin child get updated automatically. 

 

This whole exercise take 2-3  hrs and then the queue build up and system update teh plugins one by one.

 

In mean time keep checking the plugin status as well.

Hello @Kishor O ,

I completely understand the effort involved in updating a large number of plugins manually, as I’ve experienced the same challenge in the past. However, I recently came across some discussions where experts shared potential solutions for automating or simplifying this process. While I haven’t personally tested these methods, they seem promising and worth exploring.

Here are a few links to those discussions and resources:

Please take a look and let me know how they work out for you.
