We just upgrade to filemaker 16 thinking we will have better performance on our barcode inventory database..... at the time we scan barcodes in a fast way, fm16 leaves some readings incomplete... for example when scanning 10 same items with product number 802312 in a fast way , we got the first 3 records with 802312 and the next 7 records with 2312 ... filemaker 16 miss the first 2 characters... we had to downgrade to fm 15 .... i would like to know what could be the problem? I have a exit trigger script after each reading, the script contains a refresh portal and a commit, it works fine with filemaker 15

i would like to ask if i will have performace issues in my inventory-invoice database for using unstored calculations ? i choose unstored calculation to see real time inventory. my database is products - invoices hosted in filemaker server, i have about 8 unstored calculations in each record im planning to use 200 products per semester and about 150 customers ... right now im not having troubles about performance but im worried in the future , i had read that having unstored calculations with many records it slows down your database. what i have to do to prevent that ? better hardware for server? or changing structure of database? please let me know your opinions thank you !
