Installing the plug-in for use with FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Advanced on Mac and Windows.
Installing the FM Nexus Web Services plug-in is as easy as installing any other FileMaker plug-in. For both Mac and Win simply copy the plug-in into your FileMaker extensions folder and restart FileMaker.
However, the web services also relies on WSDLs to expose functions from other vendors as easy to use FileMaker calculations. There are 2 ways for these WSDLs to be loaded.
• From the FileMaker/Extension/WSDL folder
• Dynamically from a field reference

If you plan to be using a WSDL often, and want to have those functions available to you every time you launch FileMaker then simply copy the WSDL file to the FileMaker/Extensions/WSDL directory.
If on the other hand you want to only load the functions when a particular file is loaded, or just prior to executing a particular script then you might opt to load the WSDL functions dynamically - refer to the
default functions section ( _FmNx_Load_WSDL ).
Note: Windows users have will find that they have some additional files that appear by default in their FileMaker/Extensions/WSDL directory. These files are are helper files that are needed by the plug-in to help extract the WSDL functions.
