Enable plug-ins in FileMaker Server

Custom app developers can design FileMaker Pro databases to use server-side plug-ins. To enable plug-ins in FileMaker Pro, see Enable plug-ins.

In Admin Console for FileMaker Server, on the Connectors > Plug-ins tab, enable FileMaker Script Engine Plug-ins and Web Publishing Plug-ins. These settings enable the FileMaker Script Engine to use external functions and script steps implemented in plug-ins. See "Managing plug-ins" in FileMaker Server Help.

In Admin Console, you can allow scripts that run via a schedule, the Perform Script on Server script step, FileMaker WebDirect, and Custom Web Publishing to install, update, and load plug-ins. On the Connectors > Plug-ins tab, enable the Install Plug-in File Script Step settings.

Notes 

• Plug-ins are not supported in FileMaker Cloud.
