Configuring Manual Extension Updates
Auto-Update extensions in the UpdateList.xml
manifest file can be configured so that the Oracle Smart View for Office end user can see the available extensions, including per-user extensions, and install them from the Extensions tab of the Options dialog box.
You can add two attributes, visible
and allowUninstall
, to the UpdateList.xml
manifest file to change the behavior of the extensions from auto-update to manual update so that the extensions are displayed in the Options dialog box:
-
visible
—A value of "1" indicates that the extension will appear in the Extensions tab of the Smart View Options dialog and will NOT be part of the Auto-Update process.If the
visible
attribute is missing or the value is not "1", the extension is included in the Auto-Update process. -
allowUninstall
—A value of "1" indicates that the user can initiate an uninstall through the Extensions tab of the Options dialog box using the Remove link.If the
allowUninstall
attribute is missing or the value is not "1", the user may not initiate an uninstall in the Extensions interface (the Remove link will not be there).
This procedure is optional. If you choose not to add the attributes to UpdateList.xml
, extensions will continue to be updated as they were in releases earlier than 11.1.2.5.400. In pre-11.1.2.5.400 releases, users click the Check for updates link or select the Check for updates when Microsoft Office starts check box to initiate extension updates.
See Manual Update XML Defined and Manual Update XML Example for reference.
