Updating Libraries

This page describes how to manually check for, and install, available library updates for deployed libraries in Zend Server.

Note:

Only libraries with a defined Update URL in their XML descriptor file can be updated. For more information, see Update URL below.

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To update your libraries:

Manually check for updates:

To check available updates for all installed library families:

In the UI, go to the Applications | Libraries page.
In the Action bar, click .

Note:

This button will not be active if there are no libraries with an 'updateurl' value in their XML descriptor file deployed on Zend Server.

To available updates for a specific installed library family:

In the UI, go to the Applications | Libraries page.
Hover over, or select a library family, and click on the right.

Zend Server will check the update library repository for available updates. If there are any available updates, they are displayed in the Messages column in the Libraries list.

In the Library Messages column, click Download to download the library update (.zpk file).
After successfully downloading the update, deploy the library update .zpk file. For information on deploying library .zpk files, see Deploying Libraries.

Note:

Zend Server automatically checks for available updates once a day, upon accessing the UI. If there are any available updates, you will be notified via the Notification Center.

Update URL

Only libraries that include an 'updateurl' value in their XML descriptor file can be updated.

The update URL runs the following script:

	Update script: <?php header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); $result = array( 'version' => '2.2.0', 'downloadUrl' => 'http://downloads.zend.com/framework/2.2.0/ZendFramework-2.2.0.zpk', 'releaseNotes' => 'http://framework.zend.com/blog/zend-framework-2-2-0-stable-released.html' ); echo json_encode($result); ?>
