360Deploy-2.6-FileMaker-Data-Migration.p

360Works has just released 360Deploy 2.6 with several improvements to the software performance.

360Works provides outside-the-box innovation, so you can be the genius FileMaker developer at work while using the most robust, innovative development tools you need to get the job done.

360Deploy is a FileMaker deployment tool, designed to make FileMaker data migration easier. It utilizes the FileMaker Data Migration Tool, but it is so much more than only a wrapper for the FileMaker DMT and costs less than other automation software, with no annual cost. It completely automates the tedious data migration tasks, while pushing changes from the development environment to the production server making it the ultimate FileMaker migration assistant!
 

What's New in 360Deploy 2.6?

  • Server addresses with custom ports are better handled
  • Multiple deployments to the same server will have more consistent results
  • Improved connection performance for clients
  • 32-bit windows machines now launch the plugin more smoothly

 

 

 

 

How Does 360Deploy Work?

  • Clones the development database
  • Transfers clone to the production server
  • Imports the data from the production database and into the clone to absorb the new architecture *For large databases, it supports a scheduling feature to run imports overnight.
  • Backs up the production solution in archived folders prior to import should clients wish to revert back to the old version
  • Renames the deployed file
  • Resumes the deployed file

 

Keep in mind, once you press the 'deploy' button in 360Deploy, there is nothing left to do. It sends the new version to FileMaker Server (or multiple servers), and then runs in the background on each server, so you are free to continue working, take a break, or head home for the night, knowing that the new version will be safely deployed to users on each server by the time you get back. You'll receive an email when the process is complete. Skip the hassle of fumbling with files on the server and stick to the 'one-button click' of 360Deploy for dev changes.

   

Compatibility

360Deploy 2 requires FileMaker Pro or Advanced 16, and production databases must be hosted on FileMaker Server 14 or later.

After downloading 360Deploy on your server and configuring settings with the simple 360Deploy Setup utility, 360Deploy will deploy the development file changes to your users with the click of one button.

Purchasing

360Deploy 2.6 is a free upgrade for 360Deploy 2 license holders, which is a huge benefit of maintaining the latest version of 360Works software.
