MirrorSync by 360Works

Hi All, I'm having an issue during initial sync of my database. When I try to sync, i get the following error: I am at a loss as to why this is happening or how to fix it. I have tried downloading a new DB file, and also tried to reconfigure the actual MirrorSync settings but I am still having the same issue. Can someone please help? Lloyd

I'm trying to upgrade to MirrorSync 2 from 1.5, but have also upgraded to FMS13. Â I have uninstalled FMS12 and re-installed FMS13, which seems to be working fine. I installed MirrorSync 2 and received a success message. When creating a new sync configuration and trying to connect to my fresh FMS install to select the database is when I get this error: Â java.sql.SQLException, with the error code of 404. I've attached a screenshot of the error message for reference. Â Am I missing a step somewhere? Â Thanks,

I need to be able to have just a technicians schedule and related records (ie customer info, invoice, etc.) synced down to local copy and am a bit confused as to how to set this up. Example: Joe Blow opens file on iPad while out in the field and needs to get his schedule of jobs for the day. With this schedule he needs to see customer information (customer table), what work needs to be done (job table), various survey information (survey and cleaning tables). During the job he will enter work done on boxes (boxes table), create an invoice (invoice, invoice items, inventory tables), etc. I'd like it that when he marks the job as complete it automatically syncs tha…

Were beta testing and I have 8 users I use mirror sync 1.5 build 5937 to create a link to the offline database. I then email all users the link. About half of the users can download the file, open it in filemaker go, but when trying to sync, they get an Error 6 Error 6 apparently means the file is read only. But if I had a configuration error in the server, wouldnt all 8 ipads fail? edit: we have 10 licenses available so its not a license issue On the ipads with issues, I've deleted the offline version from their system and attempted to redownload it using the same link, same issue. I even restarted the ipad to try and clean the file system

When attempting to install MirrorSync, I get an error "Installation failed: The ProscTomcatDaemon could not be loaded with launchctl." When googling, I only saw one other instance of a ProscTomcatDaemon error, and it was related to a bad spanish version of Java (according to the post). I am running 10.9 with Java 7u45. Any ideas? Mike

Hi After installing mirrorsync ok, i have this error on first sync "com.prosc.sync.SyncStoreException: Could not open connection to HSQL: java.sql.SQLException: usuario no tiene privilegios suficientes o objeto no encontrado: SYNCJOIN” any suggestion? Thanks.

We are using a hosted solution for tracking issues and use MirrorSync to post the field data to the cloud. We lost our developer and are looking for a new one. My question is, is it possible to sync the security manger list form the hosted version down to the FM Go app on the iPad?

I'm struggling to figure out the best way to migrate a development system up thru TEST and then PROD instances. Basically I want an easy way to get all the data added to my production database while I've been busy developing on my development database (which was cloned from prod). Assuming I don't modify any of the synced fields could I expand a FM database (add tables, layouts, scripts) then run mirrorsync on the dev copy? Of course STEP TWO would be to move the dev copy to the production FM server, delete all the MirroSync elements and re-do them so as to include any new tables I created. Anyone see a problem with this or are there more refined ways to do change con…

I have downloaded the demo of Mirror Sync and am trying to set it up for the first time. When I do the first sync I get this error: "java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is an error with node Server node FileMaker_Server/MS_JE; it is not returning sorted records for the initial sync. For example, avhdown1_105747_1031201174915 appears in the list before avhdown1_1057472_89201310243" Is this due to the fact that I am not using UUIDs or a serial number as the ID? The ID I have created is sort of a unique strand that I have created. I have tried setting up mirror sync as using serials and as UUIDs and I get the error both ways. Thank you

Hey all, I have a Filemaker Server installed on a windows 7 machine...will mirrorSync work on this machine?

In light of this announcement: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12074 How does this affect MirrorSync and other sync technologies?

I Have this error when installing mirrorsync. Â I have a MacMini Late 2012 with OS X 10.8.4 Â Error: "Installation failed: The ProscTomcatDaemon could not be loaded with launchctl" Â Please any suggestion? Thanks! Â Â

Can anyone please tell me what this error means? I only get it when syncing from a mac, no issues on windows. ==2013-08-19 08:52:55 PM== Error from server: Unable to perform edit operation into node: Client node Sync_Lessons on jake's (Mac), java.io.IOException: Client did not accept the message queued for it after 120 seconds.

Hello, I'm curious if Mirrorsync and Supercontainers play well together?

First thought was Firewall. but port 5003 is opened at the firewall and being forwarded to the right server. I'm building the script inside the firewall so I dont know if I'm running into an issue with the way the script gets written. I can sync 2 way all other fields in the database but containers wont go from ipad to hosted solution. going from the hosted solution back to the ipad I get an error 100 internally we are using the FQDN of the server, externally we are using filemaker.XXXXX.com 2 way sync including the containers are working fine internally. Where in the MIrrorsync script should I look to trouble shoot the problem?

Has anyone seen this error? Or even if there's a manual way to copy the script instead?

Has anyone seen this error? Or even if there's a manual way to copy the script instead?

When doing my initial sync on the iPad (i.e. running the MirrorSync script for the first time) I received a "Sync failed/aborted" message (see attached images). Â I reviewed the tables/fields in Manage Database and also reviewed the layouts. Â I then re-downloaded the database from the MirrorSync dialog and re-installed that database on my iPad, having deleted the previous one. Â Once I had the new database on the iPad I once again ran the initial sync script. Â However, I received the same error message. Â One thing that I am doing is changing the name of the database - would that make a difference? Â The hosted database is Fluebase.fmp12 and the iOS version is Flu…

Hi All, Is there a way to tell if the initial sync was completed successfully? The problem is, if a local copy of the file is not synced successfully on the opening script and the user goes ahead and makes changes to the file, when they do the first sync, all their data inserted in the local copy gets deleted. I would like to check if the local copy is synced, and if it is not synced with the server, than not allow the user to add data? Is this possible?

Hi There, I would like to know which records have been synced and then run functions based on the newly synced (updated) records. How could I accomplish this?

Hi all,  i am using the Demo version of MirrorSync V1.5. i have used the other versions without any problems on another Mac computer, however i have changed to a Mac Mini Know.  the last version i used was V1.406  i am get this error message when i go to install the program. Refer to pic.  is there a fix for this???  any help would be good Thanks in advance  Â

I have installed MS on a remote server. I believe it is installed correctly. If I run the DB with the sync installed using FM pro on the server machine the sync works. If I run it remotely either on FM pro or on an iPad it doesn't sync (I have downloaded a fresh file from the MS console). I get an error 404 message saying the server is not available when trying to do the initial sync. the IP address in the error message is the correct external IP of the server. To confirm, all files required for the sync are available using the remote open feature on both the FM pro and iPad, so the files are being published by the server, and are accessible. Please help!

I just updated MirrorSync to 1.5, build 5937. I launched the MirrorSync client, entered my internal IP address (192...). Username is already populated with "administrator" which is correct. However, when I enter the password, I receive a message that either the username and/or password is invalid. I know this is correct as I was just in MS two days ago to make modifications. Any suggestions?

Hi there ! I'm having some troubles setting up Mirror Sync. Database setup steps 1-4 going well, but clicking on Finished get the message: You will not be able to successfully sync. MirrorSync script is out of date or missing script steps. Would you like to save changes anyway? Can you help me with this? Mac OS 10.7.3 Client. (dutch language) Filemaker Server 12.0v2

Now that I can open the utility, and it allows me to select the database name from a list, I get an 802 error (unable to open file): I have verified that I have fmxml enabled for my privilege set. Any suggestions? I already researched the 802 error on FileMaker's knowledge base, but did not see anything relevant towards fixing our problem here. - - Scott

I want to test out MirrorSync so I've installed FMSAdvanced 12.0.3.327 on my OS X 10.8.2 laptop. Finally got it running properly and then downloaded the demo of MirrorSync. My files have XML privileges enabled. Â When I run the Mac Installer file in the MirrorSync 1.4306 folder I get an error immediately. Â Any ideas? Â Â Â Regards, Â Â Â Gordon Cox

Hi, Â bought the mirrorsync software to be able to sync my database. Â The problem is that I do not seem to get past step 4 in the setup. Â Please see attached screenshot for message. Â How do I fix this? Â Thanks BrianÂ

Hi, I have problem with resolving conflicts when syncing. Initial sync went OK, then, I did first record enter some data and also have picture in container field entered. Sync went OK (exept picture was not synced - which is another matter) and after that every time I would sync (sometime even without any changes on client DB) a dialog would show saying "Records were modified on both sides" and I would have choose Automatic or Manual conflict resolution. In this situation I don't understand why there would be changes on server DB. It runs in FM Server 12 Demo on Windows Server 8 virtual private server. MirrorSync version is 1.4301 with licence. I would perform sync fr…

I have 3 databases on the server one is the "live" database that the users edit and work with. the other two are specific designed for importing data from the live system to create a snapshot used explicitly for massaging the data for output for the printing process. There are about a dozen tables that need to be a one way sync from the live db to these two other files. currently my work flow is the user can press a button in these utility files and it will loop thru and delete all data in each table, then do an import from the live database - however this process can take a long time deleting records and importing records. My first thought was to set this pro…

I know MirrorSync uses the Web Publishing Engine. Just confirming that it requires web ports 80 and 443 are open. When I initially set up the server there was no need for the Web Publishing Engine or the Web Server so I only installed the Database Server. Also, my client uses this server for a few other things (QuickBooks and a SQL Server system which is being replaced by a FileMaker system). Therefore, the IT person is reluctant to open the the web ports (80 and 443). When I log onto http://localhost/MirrorSync I receive a 404 error. Is this because the web ports are not open? (BTW, opening and closing the ports involves another person and this server is in …

I set up a simple sync procedure from a local copy to a hosted copy (FileMaker Server was running on the same machine, during this test). Tried the same operation from an iPhone 4 running FileMaker Go and I got the same results. FileMaker Pro Advanced 12.0v3 and FileMaker Server 12.0v2, last version of MirroSync (log available). I managed to postpone the demo to the end of this week: any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, Trying a new install of MirrorSync Demo, and am at the last setup screen where you click all the buttons to copy and paste items into FM. I can copy the MirrorSync table OK (step 1 on the list), but when I go to paste it into the Database, the paste command is greyed out. I can't seem to do anything to get it to work. I am connected to the database remotely (which is I think the proper method), but have also connected directly on the server, and it doesn't work either way. Before staring all of this setup, I did update my FM server and clients to 12.0v3 today. Is there a difference there that might be causing woes?

We are using Active Directory for authentication with our FileMaker Server. When i try to run the sync for the first time it fails on the user authentication. As an example, I'm setting up a database for a user named "John". John exists in Active Directory and has no problem logging into the database on the server. I've set up the database for syncing and downloaded a copy of the database. I then open the local database as Admin and create an filemaker account for John. I also remove all the external server accounts from the local copy of the database. I do not run the sync script. I then close out of the database. Then i send the database to John. Now J…

I am trying to get the MirrorSync demo file Contacts Management to also sync the image_data field (a Container). On the first attempt I could sync correctly only the image_data was not synced. On later attempts I made sure that image_data was mapped too. I did notice that in the screen "Field Mapping 1/2 Sync_Contacts" the Image_Data field was checked but also that it was displayed in Orange. Not sure what that means. Finishing the set up, transferring the file to my iPad, run the script to link the database. Then added a record with an image taken from the iPad camera. When I then try to sync with the script I get "Unable to call script on remote database - whi…

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I have configured MirrorSync successfully to the point where I can run a complete initial sync of the local database. I can run this multiple times successfully. However, as soon as I make a single change to (seemingly) any table, I receive the following error (I paraphrase slightly, cannot remember precisely): "Field names pasted from MirrorSync do not match those actually in the table mytable " In other words, it's telling me that the automatically generated script steps are not generating the correct field names which match the master database, thus the sync cannot happen. Some thoughts / observations…

I hadn't noticed in our previous testing but when MirrorSync sends data to the MirrorSync server, the dialog shows something like, "transferring to http://myMirrorSyncServer". Since we envision syncing medical records, is there a way to establish an https connection to the MirrorSync server similar to switching to SSL connections in FM Server?

Hello, I just update the demo version from 1_134 to 1.3122 and now I receive an error (Uncaught exception: java.lang.ExceptionInitializerError) after the "Welcome to MirrorSync!" dialog that appears on client launching. I also tried re-install the 1_134 version and 1.3122 version but I receive the same error. Ideas anyone?

I tried my first sync after converting my solution to fmp12, deleting the MirrorSync table, layout, scripts, then creating all new Sync Layouts and going through the client utility to set it all up again from scratch. Then, I download a copy of the data file, open it via my interface file, and initiate the first MirrorSync operation. It seems like it runs into a problem with the 8th Layout occurrence each time, ending in an "error/abort" result. It also "spawned" 8 Web Publishing "clients" each time I did it. The log shows 7 entries similar to this, as it goes in order through my first 7 Sync Layouts… ______________________________________________________…

Hi there I was wondering if I could check a couple of things in order to assess the suitability of MirrorSync for one of our solutions? Thanks in advance if you can help. Here's a simplified scenario that outlines how we work in our inbound telephone call handling centre. We also have sales agents who are mobile and visit customer premises. We have a FM solution with a table that includes information about our customers / data subjects. The table contains fields such as Name, Address, Telephone Number, Email Address. We have multiple staff users. 5 or so of our office-based staff will update information via a FMA12 desktop Client connected live to our l…

Hi, I get an error when trying to copy the script steps as part of the MirrorSync setup, clicking the "Copy Script Steps" button: (see screen shot) Setting other elements to clipboard works fine. Any clues?

Hi all, I am getting this error with my MirrorSync database: Error from server: 802: "Unable to open file" - Check to make sure that the database file is hosted on FileMaker Server, and that the 'fmxml' extended privilege is enabled for your privilege set.

Hi, ive made a database using ODBC, i have it uploaded to my Filemaker server (Hosted on a windows 2008 server) what are the "few extra steps after configuration" that i have to do to get it to work, or do i not use ODBC? Thanks in advance, Jafacakes2011. EDIT: i also get this error during config. that is preventing me from using my external database. (the external table is called Availability and the primary key is MIRRORSYNCID) how do i fix this?

Hi, I was starting to create scripts to export/import all my information in case we crashed so I could put us back into an uncrashed copy of the program. I realized it is a lot of work and I might forget to add to export/import script a new field I add. It just does not feel very dependable and it seems incredibly time-consuming. My question: can MirrorSync be used instead? I see it can be used between two FMPro files but has anyone use this for recovery before? And what I read about recovery says to export - does MirrorSync clean the data like an export would? If not, an export would still be important right? My thought is that a good backup could be …

Hi So I have done the complete setup, downloaded the additional copy and during the initial sync I does not progress past "Status: Sending data to mirrorsync server" This happens with a small amount of records, have let if for an hour and still no luck. Please advise what I might be doing wrong. Thanks Marius

Hello there I've recently installed the MirrorSync script (version 1.2) for use with an iPad, which needs to store data when it is offline and to sync back to a FileMaker database (and grab data from the server) when the sync script is run. I've followed the setup instructions and MOST of it is working fine. There are currently no problems with downloading information from the server to the iPad version (or to a local MacBook version), but I am experiencing problems with some of the syncing from the iPad to the server. This is what is baffling me. If it didn't sync from the iPad to the server at all, it might be easier to explain, but it seems that the majority of ta…

Hello, I've installed MirrorSync and tried to integrate with FileMaker Server 12 Advanced I've tried to use the Contact Management Database (sample database) but didn't manage to make a first initial successfully sync (I've tried a sync between a local FileMaker Pro and Server). I get when I launch the sync (I've attached the client log (from debugging tab) and server log) Can you please help me? Thx Log.zip

Hi, is there a way to use MirrorSync to sync two Filemaker servers? Markus Reinhard

We attempted deployment of MirrorSync 1.1 to our FileMaker 11 Server (Advanced) and everything worked until I launched the MirrorSync client from the browser window (http://OurServer/MirrorSync/), but we kept getting this error: We thought perhaps it was not accepting the username and password, and that we erred in setting that part up, so we then chose to reinstall to the server with the user name that has 10 lower-case letters and a password that consists of a combination of lower-case letters and numbers (total of 13 characters) and restarted web publishing. Same problem. No firewall on port 80. Are there other port numbers that we should disable t…

I am making my second attempt to set up MirrorSync. I cannot connect to the MirrorSync Server using the external IP Address. I get an error. It will connect using the local IP Address. Which is what I used for my first attempt. The setup went fine but then ran into trouble with errors not being able to find the MirrorSync Layout. I am assuming because I used the local IP Address during the setup. Any thoughts?

Every time I open the MirrorSync script or when I've pasted this script into FM client (with the server demo database open) I get a FileMaker Pro error dialog telling me that "The maximum number of licensed users are currently using this copy of FIleMaker Pro" ..... "All files will be closed and the application will quit". I get a chance to save what I've done but that's it. This is happens at the last step in the database setup. Have no clue if this is a purely FM client or server problem or if it is related to MirrorSync scripts. Anyone familiar with this error message? Thanks --Marc

What happens if a sync is interrupted? Are there safeguards in place to ensure that the user knows the sync wasn't completed successfully? Thanks, WIll

The fields used to set the Modification Dates are collapsed making it impossible to select the choice. Please see the screen shot shown in the attached file. I tried Safari and Explorer. Thank you.

I just want to know what I can expect in the way of sync conflicts, such as when field data in source records have been modified by one user on the "live" data, then a remote user chooses to "sync" their data that contains modifications to the same records. If there is a conflict, is the user notified? Is there a built-in layout for resolving conflicts? Thanks in advance. - - Scott

I like the concept, but how does this work with Data Separation Model?

Hello, Jesse: The first show-stopping issue I came across today was that I never got the screen for foreign key mapping, and when I got done, it did not draw any lines between the 17 tables I chose for synchronization. First screen after selecting the database to be used from the server: Next screen after selecting the Primary Key and Modification TimeStamp Mapping (skips foreign key mapping totally): I deleted the previous config, as well as the user that I attempted to setup (in Licensing), quit the utility, then refreshed my browser, downloaded the utility again, clicked "New" (after deleting that user from Licensing again), went thro…

I installed MirrorSync and opened the welcome to mirror sync page. I download the client and can't log into it. I am getting this error. I thought maybe my admin pass was typed in wrong so I uninstalled and reinstalled and after very carefully entering the passwords I am still getting the error. An unexpected error occurred while logging in. java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: Java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table

Now that we have gotten past the myriad of server issues preventing us from deploying MirrorSync, I've encountered another slight problem: I do not see the "id" primary key field name listed in most of the tables I have chosen to sync, as shown in the screen shot below. Any ideas on why, and more importantly, how to fix this issue so I can deploy MirrorSync? Thanks in advance, - - Scott
