Using the Java plug-in server for dynamic plug-in loading

To enable dynamic plug-in loading, you must specify a reload delay before starting the plug-in server (use the Reload Delay configuration option in the AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form). For more information on AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form, see Setting plugin server configuration options.

When a delay is specified, the system automatically loads plug-ins and initiates them for all worker threads after the delay period without requiring a plug-in server restart. During the delay period, you can modify the new plug-in configuration if necessary. (If you modify it after the delay, you must restart the plug-in server to make your changes take effect.) For information about restarting the plug-in server, see Restarting the plug-in server using the Set Server Info command. 

The following example provides the steps to configure the Atrium SSO plug-in using only the Java plug-in server.

To configure the Atrium SSO plug-in using only the Java plug-in server

1. Make the following changes in the AR System Administration: AR System Configuration Generic UI form:
   Comment out the Plugin: areaatriumsso.dll entry (if it exists) and also comment out all the native area plug-in related entries.
2. Make the following changes in the AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form:

   1. Delete the ARSYS.AREA.ATRIUMSSO plug-in.

   2. Create a new plug-in with the following details:

      

      Field name	Field value
      Plugin Name	AREA
      Plugin Class name	com.bmc.arsys.plugins.sso.AtriumSSOPlugin
      Path Elements	C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/arssoplugin91_build001.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/atsso-sdk.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/atsso-common.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/bcprov-jdk15on-1.60.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/stax-1.2.0.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/stax-api-1.0.1.jar C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/json.jar
