Server Exports Location

[Garry Claridge]

I was caught by a "gotya" with this today. The

"Get(DocumentsPath)"

is to

"/Library/Filemaker Server/Data/Documents".

I was looking for the file in:

"/Library/Filemaker Server/Documents".

Hope this helps somebody :

The other Get ( somewherePath ) functions are also similarly different.

Please see my observation regarding difference fm9/fm10 when handling local exports on the following link.

Thanks Steven,

I did read your article prior to writing the Script (Thank you). This is what I read:

"...resolves to the Documents Folder in the root level of FileMaker Server...".

The structure in the /Library/Filemaker Server/ directory looks like this:

/

Admin

Common

Data

Database Server

Desktop

Documentation

Documents

Examples

.....

To me the "Documents" directory here is at the "root" level of the FMS. However the path resolves to:

/Library/Filemaker Server/Data/Documents

as shown here:

/

Admin

Common

Data

- Backups

- Databases

- Documents

- Scripts

Database Server

Desktop

Documentation

Documents

Examples

....

Well that is how our install resolves with FMS 10.

All the best

I see your confusion and I will look into this, thoughg probably not until after the Devcon.

Thanks.
