Import via Server Sided Script from handler > search does not work

[cat traveller]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run a server sided script that will import a found set. The server sided script opens a handler file that opens data file 1, does the find, imports into data file 2. 

However, the search works in script debugger but imports all records. 

The script opens layout A, searches goes to layout b, imports. Also the import of the selected fields seems not be remembered. I am stuck.....

 

Thank you

Two things:

1) clearly something is not quite working properly in the process and that would need to be fixed to work properly in the debugger,

2) but even if you fixed it, it wouldn't work as a server-side script.

FMS cannot import directly from another hosted FM file.  It's a server limitation.  You need to produce your found set and export it to a non-FM format (CSV, tab delimited, whatever your preference) and then import from that intermediate file.

Thanks Wim, I was not aware of this.
