Applescript & FM Server

Featured Replies

I believe on client machine

EVERYTHING is done on the client, including the execution of Applescript.

Pretty much nothing that the user has contol over is done on the server machine itself.

If you have an Applescript within your solution where does it actually run if you are using FM Server? ie: on the server or local FM. Can multiple users be running the function that uses the applescript?

In FMP 6 you can use scriptmaker to execute Applescripts from the client side. Those applescripts can access to remote machine if you have the right to do so.

On the FMP server side look at the scheduler, in version 5.x it seems that the server is able to schedule the execution of Applescript (on the server machine by default).

It will be interesting to see what happens in version 7 (I mean FMP server 7), I hope this will be more powerfull than now.

I think there are a few applescripts that are meant to be run on the server. Your script must quit server and then run open the file on a FM Pro client (on the server) and then perform the applescript functions. [An example of this is the simply to open all the files on a FMP client to update the Today() function.]
