1.when we install a plugin manually using GUI in Jira 7 , where the plugin gets saved and is there any configuration file update done.

2.is there a way we can manually download all the jar/obr files and place it in Linux server and plugins start working.

HI @Padmasree P

Yes, Once you will install a plugin manually from GUI the plugin is saved in <JIRA_HOME>/plugins/installed-plugins directory.

If you want then you can place your .jar/obr file to the same above place to get it to work.

Hi Yohesh,

thanks , just placing the files in directory will work or should we add any entry in any of the configuration files

[Yogesh Mude]

Not required.

Once you place the .jar file to the respective directory from the GUI you can configure it.

Hi Yogesh,

Once the plugin is placed in directory, I can use it right, what should I configure in gui

[Yogesh Mude]

Yes, you are right but some of the add-ons like eazyBI, after installing this addon for using the functionality of it you need to do the configuration.

 That will depends on the add-ons and their functionality some of the add-ons requires configuration and some of are not.
