<div><p>Install, uninstall, and maintain plug-ins.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Plug-ins reside in a source directory on the host server and allow
you to integrate new functions or applications into iSeries™ Navigator. They typically add:</p>
<ul><li>Folders and objects to the hierarchy tree</li>
<li>Choices to iSeries Navigator
menus</li>
<li>Property pages to the property sheet for a folder or object</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can distribute plug-ins to your users as part of the installation
process. If a plug-in resides on the installation source, it appears as a
sub-component of iSeries Navigator.</p>
<div class="p">If
a plug-in does not exist on your installation source, you can install it as
a separate, installable component using Selective Setup. After completing
the product installation, when you start Selective Setup, supply the location
(one of the following directories) for the plug-in that you want to install.

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ul><li>Selective Setup displays all Plug-ins that are available for installation
from the specified location. However, some optionally installable components
of iSeries Access
for Windows<sup>®</sup> do
not appear if the client and host are not at the same version, release, and
modification (VxRxMx) level.</li>
<li>A warning message appears if the plug-in is not explicitly supported by iSeries Access
for Windows,
however, you can still install the plug-in.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p> After installation, you can maintain plug-ins using the <a href="rzaijhdrcheckveradm.htm#hdrcheckveradm">When to check service level</a> function.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Upgrade or service plug-ins</h4><p>To update a plug-in,
simply copy the updated files into the plug-ins installation source directory
on the host.</p>
<p>The <samp class="codeph">When to check service level</samp> function
maintains the version of the plug-in. Every time this function starts, it
checks the plug-ins installation source directory on the host to see if the
plug-in requires an upgrade. If the plug-in requires an upgrade, CheckVersion
begins the iSeries Access
for Windows Selective
Setup program in a special mode. Selective Setup then updates the plug-in.</p>
