Plugin Management

1.Version

2. Application scenarios

If you need a plug-in to achieve a certain function, you can download the plug-in in "plug-in management" for use.

3. Function introduction

Plugin management provides a visual interface to install , delete , update , disabled , and enable plugins. As shown below:

Note: IE8 and below browsers are not supported.

There are three ways to install plug-ins on the server: download installation, local installation, and manual installation.

Note: The example server in this chapter is the Tomcat server , and the example plug-in is "HTML5 Mobile Display Plug-in".

1. Download and install

1) Enter the Decision-making System as an administrator, click Manage > Plugin, enter the name of the plugin in the search box to search, select the plug-in to be installed, and click Install . Take the installation of the "HTML5 Mobile Display" plug-in as an example, as shown in the figure below Show:

2) After the plugin is installed successfully, a pop-up window will pop up. 

2. Local installation

1) Download the "HTML5 Mobile Display" plugin on the https://community.finereport.com/market/, and the obtained compressed package is shown in the following figure:

Note: In the Fanruan market, you need to log in with the Fanruan pass before you can download the plug-in

2) Enter the data decision system as an administrator, click Management System > Plug-in Management > Install from Local , and select the .zip archive

Note: Do not decompress the compressed package obtained above, just install it directly.

3. Manual installation

Note: When there is no purchase decision system or War pack deployment, the plugin can be installed manually.

1) Determine the plugin folder

• The plugins installed by FineBI are stored in the %BI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\plugins path, as shown in the following figure:

Note: The folder under the path must be generated by installing the plug-in in FineBI, not the folder obtained after decompressing the plug-in zip package downloaded from the official website.

• plugin.xml file in a plugin folder to determine the specific plugin. As shown below:

2) Copy and paste plugin files

Copy and paste the plugin-com.fr.plugin.mobile.web-10.4.76 folder under %BI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\plugins to the % Tomcat_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\plugins path Down. As shown below:

3) Effect display

Restart the Tomcat server, enter the data decision system as an administrator, click Management System > Plugin Management,and you can see that the "HTML5 Mobile Display" plugin has been successfully installed. As shown below:

On the server "My Plugins", select a plugin, click the Disable/Enable button, it will prompt: Plugin has been disabled/Plugin has been enabled 

On the server "My Plugins", select the plugin to be deleted, click the Delete button, and click the OK button on the pop-up window.

On the platform "My Plugins", select the plugin to be updated, click the Update button, and click the OK button on the pop-up window.

1. Turn off the plug-in automatic update function

Plug-ins such as "downtime processing" and "cloud operation and maintenance" will automatically detect and update the plug-in version when the project is started, after a period of time, and at 23:00 every night.

For BI projects of version 5.1.16 and later, the super administrator can disable the automatic update of such plug-ins through "fine_conf_entity Visual Configuration Plug-in". The settings take effect after restarting the server.

Note: For the method of modifying the field value of the FineDB database table, please refer to the modification of common table fields in FineDB .

2. Enable plugin integrity check

In order to prevent malicious tampering with the code in the plug-in package when installing the plug-in locally/manually, the BI project of version 5.1.16 and later provides the plug-in integrity check function. This feature is disabled by default.

The super administrator can enable the integrity verification function of the uploaded plugin installation package through "fine_conf_entity Visual Configuration Plugin". The settings take effect after restarting the server.

Note: For the method of modifying the field value of the FineDB database table, please refer to the modification of common table fields in FineDB .

If the plugin integrity check function is enabled, if the plugin package is decompressed/corrupted:

1) When installing a plug-in locally, it is forbidden to install the plug-in to the system, and an error is reported to remind "The signature of this plug-in installation package is damaged, there is a security risk, and it cannot be installed."

2) When manually installing the plug-in, the plug-in is not loaded into the system, an error will be reported in the log, but no error will be reported at the front end.

Note 1: If the plug-in integrity verification function is enabled, but a plug-in whose signature fails to pass the verification (such as a two-open plug-in) must be installed, the user can install the plug-in manually. For details, please refer to Section 2.3 of this article. .

Note 2: The plug-in integrity check function is only valid for FanRuan official plug-ins, and third-party plug-ins are not valid. To add verification signatures to third-party plugins, please contact technical support. Technical support contact information: QQ "800049425", telephone "400-811-8890".
