OK. It wasn't working. Just had re-installed 4.43. My bad. Sorry

I have no ideal why but it is suddenly working for me. Very confused. It has never worked before this many times. UGH. I have attached the log file 360Plugins_FMAdvanced.log

John, same with me. But checking memory for Ryan. Sorry was busy today

Thank you so much. I sent two. Really sorry for the hassles!!! my email was kessingbd@si.edu

Where so I find the logs? Sorry

yes

OK. I created the directory (under user) and used the 512 file. Restarted FM and it didn't help. Was hopeful. Where so I find he logs you want?

Thanks Ryan. It is strange. Alot of my users are seeing this. I am using the exact same set up as you seemingly but also see it with 15, 16 too. If I register JUST that function all is OK. I did notice that at one point it was only a problem after the first call. Could it be a memory issue? Could it be what Java we have installed? Java 8 191. I should also mention that we work for the fed. gov. and there are all sorts of virus scanning programs on our computer etc. Maybe a confounding variable?

When I register and run just the ChooseFolder( startingPath ; prompt ) function…all is good. But if I register a "few" more functions, the choosefolder freezes and quits FM. This is with FM 15, 16, 17 and Mac or PC. SM4.43 doesn't not have any problem. Seems a memory issue. Anyone else seeing this? I've loaded up a file that you can edit and test. Thanks. directory test.fmp12

I would say you could store it. But have you considered using a global in this case?

Everything seems OK. Thanks for input.

So far so good…the SMReset seems to solve the memory issues I was having. A few more days of testing on the server will confirm it hopefully.

Hmmmm. OK, Maybe I will see if restarting the script engine is needed or does the trick if SMReset doesn't. I am trying that tonight. Will report back. Thanks And darn. I just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry!!! Should be in the Scriptmaster forum.

Should I reset the plugin occasionally with smreset?

I am running a server script periodically (every hour lets say) which does some database maintenance, uploads some files, etc. I do this on a number of Filemaker Servers (latest server version running on Windows machines) without problems…except for one server. On this server I use scriptmaster to up load some large files into containers as they are generated from scientific instruments. The problem is that the server runs seems to run out of RAM memory after a "few" days. I think this is the only thing that this server does differently than the other 4 servers and feel that this is the problem. My question is…is there a way to "flush" memory used by the plugin or by the FM server. Has anyone else experienced something similar or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks.
