Plugins

• A plugin is a file with predefined configuration for bots. It includes routes, channels, grammars, mappings etc.

• Plugins are installed via bots-monitor-Systasks->Read plugin.

• In order to run the routes in a plugin you first have to activate the routes.

• There are useful plugins on the bots sourceforge site.

• Documentation for these plugins.

Note

grammars for edifact and x12 are NOT plugins, and can not be installed.

For what is a bots plugin useful?

• An easy way to distribute and share edi configurations for bots.

• Learn from existing configurations

• Backup your configuration.

• Share your configuration with others (It would be nice if you want to share your configuration; other can use and/or learn from what you have done.).

• Do another install of the same configuration.

• Transfer your environment from test to production.

• Plugins are used to update to a new version of bots (only between minor versions).
