MicroStrategy ONE

4.1 MicroStrategy Web Customizations

MicroStrategy Web customizations are developed as plugins that are stored in the plugins folder of the environment. When upgrading to a newer version of MicroStrategy Web, the plugin upgrade differs depending on whether you are using a .NET environment on Windows or a J2EE environment on Windows or Linux.

.NET Environment

When you upgrade MicroStrategy Web in a .NET environment (IIS), the existing plugins are automatically copied to the plugins folder of the new installation directory.

J2EE Environment

When you upgrade MicroStrategy Web in a J2EE environment, you must manually copy your existing plugins to the plugins folder in your new deployment folder.

  1. Make a copy of your existing plugins.
  2. Deploy the new MicroStrategy Web WAR file.
  3. Copy your existing plugins to the new plugins folder in deployment folder.

For information about the plugin structure used for MicroStrategy Web customizations, refer to MicroStrategy Web SDK in the MicroStrategy Developer Library.
