How to Suppress Automatic Updates by Configuration

If the installation is centrally managed, it may be necessary to prevent individual updates. By setting the “blockUpdate” parameter in the plugin-customization.ini file, updates are blocked, and all menu items providing update options are suppressed from the Help menu.

📘 Instructions

Proceed as follows:

  1. Locate the plugin com.helinks.sts.products_sts_si_1.0.0.0.jar in your installation directory.
