KNIME: Install Extensions via Wf with Nodes

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hello,
I can only update the AP by reinstalling it. Then I have to add all extensions manually. I don’t like that!

Here’s my idea: I create a workflow with one node for each extension. When the workflow is called up, the AP asks whether it should install all extensions and then does so. Initially, I have to create a workflow in which each extension is represented by a node. But, how do I recognise the assignment of node to extension?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @discholi,

if the old and new installations can live side-by-side, this workflow might already solve your problem: Replicate configuration - #5 by leo_woerteler

Otherwise, you would need to modify it to create a file with the required information, replace the AP installation, and then apply the cached information.

Best regards,
Manuel
