Application plug-ins extend the functionality of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For example, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Attendant Console plug-in allows a receptionist to rapidly answer and transfer calls within an organization, and the JTAPI plug-in allows a computer to host applications that access the Cisco Unified Communications Manager via the Java Telephony Application Programming Interface (JTAPI).

Updating the Plugin URL

During the Cisco Unified Communications Manager install process, records that are added to the Plugins table specify the URLs that the Administration applications use to build the Application drop-down menu. The domain name server (DNS) provides the basis for the URL that is constructed at installation time. If the DNS changes, the URL does not get updated.

Perform the following procedure to update the URL of the Plugin URL.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Application > Plugins.

The Find and List Plugins window displays. Display the list of available plug-ins according to the instructions in Installing Plug-ins.

Step 2 Click the Plugin name that you want to update.

The Update Plugin URL window displays.

Step 3 Enter the information described in Table 106-1.

Step 4 Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window (or click the Save button that displays at the bottom of the window) to update and save the URL.
