Connections
Connections are used to configure Release to integrate with third-party applications. Connections are integration credentials that store authentication information required for Release plugins to securely communicate with third-party applications.
Plugin Manager
You can manage your Digital.ai Release plugins directly from the Digital.ai Release user interface. The plugin manager displays the list of installed plugins and their current version. With the plugin manager you can upload a new plugin or a new version of an installed plugin directly from the user interface.
Plugin Manager CLI
The Digital.ai Release Plugin Manager CLI lists, adds, updates, and deletes plugins from the filesystem or database. The CLI is non-interactive (since v22.0.0) and must be used when all Release nodes are stopped.
Plugin Synchronization
This topic explains the new plugin management system introduced in Digital.ai Release 10.2.0. Once you upgrade your Digital.ai Release to 10.2.0 or higher version there is no more manually copying of plugin files. Everything is handled by Digital.ai Release GUI and internal API. Plugins are now being stored in the database as a central location to remove the manual manipulation of files across the cluster.
Update Custom Plugins for JDK 17 or later Upgrade
The upcoming version of Digital.ai Release 24.1 or later requires upgrading to Java 17 or later as it is the next Long Term Support (LTS) version of the JDK. This ensures that Release has access to the latest Java functionalities and up-to-date security fixes.
