Plug-in auto-registration in OIM

We often register plug-ins in OIM through the plug-in registration utility, however OIM also gives us the option for switching on auto-registration just by keeping it in a specific folder or folders. 

To configure it  - 

1. Search for the file 'oim-config.xml' , it should be in location 'OIM_HOME/server/server/metadata/db/' (or you can take an metadata export from EM console)
2. Add  / Modify the below tags : 

<pluginConfig storeType="common">
<storeConfig reloadingEnabled="true"
reloadingInterval="20">
 <!--
 Plugins present in the OIM_HOME/server/plugins directory are added by default.
 For adding more plugins, specify the plugin directory as below:
 <registeredDirs>/scratch/oimplugins</registeredDirs>
 <registeredDirs>/scratch/custom</registeredDirs>
 -->
</storeConfig>
</pluginConfig>

3. Take a server restart cause it's OIM we're talking about ! ;)
