Regenerate the Plug-ins for Universal Resources

If you use universal resources, you must regenerate the plug-in for each universal resource. After you regenerate the plug-ins, copy them to the Metadata Manager Service plug-ins directory, and then recycle the Metadata Manager Service.

Perform the following tasks for each universal resource:

Copy the plug-in definition file from the previous Metadata Manager version and save it with a different file name.

Edit the new plug-in definition file, change the values of the name element, the owner element, or both, and then save the file.

The following code shows an example of a plug-in definition file for an XConnect that you use to extract metadata from QlikView Files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xconnect xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='xconndef.xsd' xmlns="http://www.informatica.com/XCONDEF">
    <name>QlikView1011</name>
    <owner>HypoStores</owner>
    <domain>Business Intelligence</domain>
    <sourcename>QlikView Files</sourcename>
</xconnect>

Run the mmXConPluginUtil generatePlugin command with the definition file (-x) option to regenerate the plug-in.

For example:

mmXConPluginUtil generatePlugin -x C:\MMPlugInDefs\HypoStores_QlikView1011.xml

mmXConPluginUtil generates the plug-in as an XConnect archive (XAR) file. It generates the plug-in in the following directory, where the owner and name are defined in the plug-in definition file:

<Informatica services installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\utilities\mmxconpluginutil\<owner>.<name>

mmXConPluginUtil names the plug-in

mm-<owner>.<name>-xconnect.xar

Copy the plug-in to the Metadata Manager Service plug-ins directory:

<Informatica services installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\mm-plugins\xconnect\<Metadata Manager Service name>

After you copy all plug-ins to the Metadata Manager Service plug-ins directory, recycle the Metadata Manager Service in the Administrator tool. Metadata Manager imports the models when the service is enabled.
