Plug-ins will not load - FMS8A MAC

[HALBURN]

What is the trick for getting the plug-ins to load?

I installed them...changed the permissions...and rebooted the server. I can see them in the list in the Admin Utility but I can not select the checkbox to load them.

Can plugin's run on server?? News to me!!!

If the plug-in is specifically designed for Server side and if there is also a companion plug-in on the workstation, then FMS can use the server side plug-in to evaluate some results.

Sounds as if (a) these aren't server side plug-ins and ( there are no companion client side ones.

Changing permissios with the "Get Info" UI tool on OSX does not change the permissions inside the plugin package.

You need to use the command line to force the change of ownership down to all the components in the package. Using the terminal, navigate to the FMS plugins folder and execute the command:

sudo chown -R fmserver:fmsadmin nameOfThePlugin/

If it still doesn't work then you're in for quite a bit of work. You'll need to compare the privileges of each package item against the equivalent privileges on the FMS xDBC plugin to make sure your plugin has the privileges set the same way. That should do the trick.

If you want to use the plugin in IWP then you'll need to do something similar after putting the plugin in the WPE plugins folder. Keep in mind that the owner there is fmweb, not fmserver.
