Guy Willett Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello, I have SuperContainer installed on my remote FMS server (using installer.jar) and things are working nicely with the regular features (without plugin)on my hosted database. I have a standard license. I would like to utilize the plugin for its scriptable functions. These would be triggered by user interaction on remote client machines with the database hosted on the FMS, rather than scheduled server scripts. To utilize the plugin functions, should I install the plugin on each client's FMPro or should I install it on the FMServer, or both? Aplogies for my ignorance! Thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 the plugin need only to be installed only on each client's machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcooney Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am investigating SC and would like to know if it's possible to install the plugin on the FMS only. I anticipate scripting upload and download. Is a client plug-in required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooparah Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hey Bcooney, Yes, as stated by Ocean West, the client plugin would be required for SuperContainer. The SuperContainer Companion plugin needs to be installed on every system that will be using the SC Companion scripting functions. Hope this makes sense and answers your question, - Obinna Oparah Developer, 360works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smef Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If you have a lot of machines that would need to install the plugin you may want to use auto-update to automatically install it on your clients when they connect to your database. We have instructions for setting this up on your server or using our server for autoupdate at http://360works.com/autoupdate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I am aware of auto-update. It's just we are trying very hard to move plugins to the server. We're evaluating SC for a project, but this point conflicts with that goal. However, I'm hoping that the functionality without the plugin will suffice for our needs. Briefly, what can't I do without the plugin? Seems that I'll be able to upload and download via a webviewer. That should be enough. Can I capture a file name?

Smef Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The plugin's scgetinfo function will grab file information, such as the file name. It would be possible to run a server scheduled script to get this information and store it in a field if you wanted to update filenames nightly, for example. The plugin functions are all detailed in the plugin's documentation.html file that came with the download, if you would like to look through that for details.

bcooney Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm trying to parse the webviewer content for the filename using GetObjectAttributes ( "webviewer" ; "content"). Seems it's consistent and I'm having luck. Is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
