After you register an add-on feature in the global configuration database, you can install it
to a new or existing object store. To install an add-on, you must
have domain-level write permission. In addition, to import data defined in
the import data set and to perform the operations in the pre-
and post-import scripts, you must have additional access rights
that are required for those operations.
About this task
- Before installing a custom add-on to an
object store, verify that there are no system-provided add-ons or other custom add-ons already installed that are not supported by the product that uses your custom add-on. When you create or update an object
store for your environment, choose only those add-ons that are supported by your client products or applications.
- Database tables have a row-size limit, and user-defined add-on properties reduce the row space that is not already reserved for current system properties. If you are in doubt about
whether you need an add-on, install it only after you confirm that the add-on is necessary.
Add-ons cannot be removed from an object store.
Procedure
To install an add-on feature to an object store:
- Access the object store in the administration console:

of the object store (the top-level item).
- From the Actions menu in the object store tab , click Install
Add-On Features.
- Select the add-on feature that you want to install and
click OK.
