Modifying custom external policy governors or review extensions

After you have installed a custom extension, you can upload a modified Java archive file for that extension to modify or update the policy governor or custom review extension.

Before you begin

You must be a repository administrator to modify existing custom review or policy extensions.

About this task

Restriction: Do not change the class name of the custom review or policy extension.
Tip: When modifying or updating a custom extension, follow these instructions instead of deleting the extension and re-uploading the .jar file. If you delete a custom extension, you can no longer see the results and history of the extension for any assets that used the extension.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Rational® Asset Manager web client as a repository administrator.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. Click Custom Extensions.
  4. For the policy extension or custom review extension that you want to update, click Modify.
  5. In the Modify Extension window, click Browse and navigate to the updated .jar file on your file system. The name of the .jar file that you upload does not have to be the same as the original file; however, the name of the class must not change.
  6. Click OK. The policy or review extension will now use the code from the updated .jar file.
