Can a background plugin run on the Management server?

[00520000005cMSnAAM (Ives Chen)]

Hello, we’re managed to develop a background plugin and hope it can run on the Management server by returning EnvironmentType.ManagementServer in the override TargetEnvironments. However, even plugin dlls are copied to [C:\Program](file:C:/Program) Files\Milestone\MIPPlugins, and the plugin.def sets environment explicitly (), the plugin still cannot be loaded by the Management server.

​

On the other hand, we also tried returning EnvironmentType.Service, and plugin can run on the event server successfully.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

EnvironmentType.ManagementServer is for future use, there is no functionality currently for the support of this.

Suggestions might be to use the Event Server (EnvironmentType.Service) as you suggest yourself or maybe you can use the Management Client (EnvironmentType.Administration)
