CDML CALLS SHUTTING DOWN SCRIPTS

[Eske Gunge]

Hi there

Hope i can get some help.

I have an import script running on filemaker, but when i search in the database from the web using CDML the script i shut down :? Why is this, and more importaint can i do anything to prevent it ?

OK you might have to detail what action is being performed when the problem occurs. You might also want to describe the script and what it does too.

OK

I have a script running that imports some records during the day. While not importing, the script is on pause. If you access the database information while the script is on pause the script is stoped - and therefore does not import when it is supose to ?

The WebCompanion acting as user cancels the paused scripts. I guess that is how it works.

I've found that WC interrupts scripts.

As solution perform script on client machine served by data from your server machine. I guess the WC will not shut down the script.

It's not good running a database with a script paused. For no other reason that the fact that a button can be configured to exit all running scripts, it's not a reliable method.

I achieve a similar function by setting the import script to run at startup (in the document Preferences) and making sure that the database is restarted regularly. The same result without pauses scripts.
