If your hosted database files use the Install Plug-In File script step, you can enable the script step to update server-side plug-in files.
1. In Admin Console, click the Connectors > Plug-ins tab.
2. For Server Plug-ins, set FileMaker Script Engine Plug-ins and Install Plug-in File Script Step to Enabled.
The Install Plug-In File script step updates the plug-in file in the folder on the master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment.
•Windows: [drive]:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Database Server\Extensions\
•macOS: /Library/FileMaker Server/Database Server/Extensions/
1. In Admin Console, click the Connectors > Plug-ins tab.
2. For Web Publishing Plug-ins, set Web Publishing Plug-ins and Install Plug-in File Script Step to Enabled.
3. In a single-machine deployment, restart the Web Publishing Engine to apply this change. In a multiple-machine deployment, restart the Web Publishing Engine first on the master machine, then on the worker machines, to apply this change from the master machine to the worker machines.
The Install Plug-In File script step updates the plug-in file in the folder on the machines running the Web Publishing Engine.
•Windows: [drive]:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Web Publishing\publishing-engine\cwpc\Plugins\
•macOS: /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins/
•Enabling web publishing plug-ins and the Install Plug-In File script step restarts the Web Publishing Engine and disconnects any clients.
•Because plug-ins are different for Windows and macOS, you should only execute the Install Plug-In File script step from a client that is running on the same operating system as the host machine.
