Registering Server plug-ins

Much of the Enterprise Server functionality is provided through plug-ins. Before these plug-ins can be used, they need to be registered. During this process, the available Server plug-in folders are accessed and the plug-ins that are found are added to the database.

Note: Registering Server plug-ins needs to be done when: A new version of Enterprise Server is installed A change is made to the configuration of a plug-in A custom plug-in is added or removed

Step 1. In Enterprise Server, click Server Plug-ins in the Maintenance menu or on the Home page.

The Server Plug-ins page appears and any installed plug-ins will be automatically registered.

Note: Because the plug-ins are registered while the page is opened, the process of opening the page can take a few moments.

Step 2. Make sure that the required plug-ins are enabled. If needed, resolve any conflicts.

Note: Normally, no conflicts should arise and no further action will be required after accessing the page.

Configuring a custom Server plug-in

Some custom Server plug-ins provide configuration options that can be set in a config.php file.

They can also add their own Maintenance page on which specific actions can be performed. When a custom Server plug-in for which such a page is available is installed or activated, an icon is automatically added to the Integrations page. Double-clicking the icon opens the Maintenance page for that plug-in.

Note: For more information about configuring custom Server plug-ins, see the readme.txt file that is provided with the plug-in.
