I tried using FM Server 5.5 on OS X a few months ago and had all my databases corrupted. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone out there using OS X and using FM Server 5.5 with no problems?

Any tricks?

I am having the same problem using the latest version of FM Pro Server and OS X.

FM Pro Server is hosting 74 files of these, 2 regularly have close errors when shutting down Server about once a week. Also, about once a week another random file doesn't close properly.

To get the files back up, I have to Recover - Save as Compressed Copy - Export data in Merge format - Save as Clone - then re import the exported data into the clone, all the time renaming and deleting files to preserve relationships.

When running OS 9, I don't have any of these problems. File Maker support hasn't been able to help.

Does anyone out there have an answer???

In the meantime I am going back to OS 9 even though it means giving up speed. OS X is about 2 to 3 times faster when running complicated FM Pro scripts.

FM Server is not running any scripts

For sure it will be faster in serving in MacX like it is on Windows NT technology.

Are you running 5.5v2?

Another thought, are you quitting FM Server by a script or by clicking on the stopping server button?

Am running 5.5v2

Have tried quitting using Remote Administration (most luck) and Stop Server button.

I have experienced this problem with my larger databases when served on OS 9 and OS X when closed by triggering a script when I did my database maintenance. I had created a script that called an AppleScript that quit FMServer. Solution was to run maintenance on a different machine and not quit FMServer. But, this does not sound exactly like your problem.
