Updating outdated plugins in servicenow

[Kishor O]

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?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Please share your insights.

Thanks,

Kishor Otepadpu

@Kishor O

Hi @Kishor O 

You need to do it 1 by 1. Also, there are a few plugin which has depend so it may take more time as well.  For my client i had 157 plugins to update , it take approx 5-6 hrs , to run the batch of 10 -10 plugins manually.

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.
