Sybase Central Plug-ins window

The Sybase Central Plug-ins window allows you to configure plug-in settings and register new plug-ins. This window has the following components:

Plug-ins list    Lists and describes each plug-in currently registered with Sybase Central. Note that Sybase Central has its own version number that may be different from the version number listed for the plug-ins.

Register    Displays the Register a Plug-In Wizard, which lets you register a new plug-in by specifying a plug-in registration file or a JAR file. In this wizard, you can also type additional directory paths to add to the plug-in's classpath (the set of locations of the required classes for the plug-in).

The Register button is disabled if the .screpository600 file is read-only. On a multi-user operating system, the System Administrator is responsible for registering new plug-ins and you may not have permission to write to this file.

Unregister    Allows you to unregister a plug-in from Sybase Central. Once a plug-in has been unregistered, it cannot be used unless it is registered again.

The Unregister button is disabled if the .screpository600 file is read-only. On a multi-user operating system, the System Administrator is responsible for unregistering plug-ins and you many not have permission to write to this file.

Load    Loads the selected plug-in for use.

Unload    Unloads the selected plug-in. Unloaded plug-ins are unusable until you load them again; they remain listed in the window, but are not visible in the main Sybase Central window. If there is only one plug-in that you commonly use, it may be helpful to unload all others.

Properties    Displays the plug-in's properties window, which lets you set startup options and add additional paths to the current classpath.
