Updating the Plug-in URL

During the Cisco Unified Presence 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 Plug-in URL.
