Enabling the Install Plug-In File script step to update server-side plug-ins
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.

In Admin Console, click the Database Server > Server Plug-Ins tab, then select Allow Install Plug-In File script step to install, update, and load Server plug-ins.
The Install Plug-In File script step updates the plug-in file in the folder on the

•macOS: /Library/FileMaker Server/Database Server/Extensions/
To enable the Install Plug-In File script step to update a web publishing plug-in file:
In Admin Console, click the Web Publishing > General Settings tab, then select Allow Install Plug-In File script step to install, update, and load plug-ins for web publishing.
The Install Plug-In File script step updates the plug-in file in the folder on the machine running the Web Publishing Engine in your FileMaker Server deployment.

Notes
•Because plug-ins are different for Windows and macOS, you should only execute the Install Plug-In File script from a client that is running on the same operating system as the host machine.
