Newbies StefanV Posted July 19, 2011 Newbies Posted July 19, 2011 I'm developing a bigger application and the idea is to get it run multi-user between 6-7 people. I was thinking on getting Filemaker Server on a designated computer on my network to host the data file, and give each user the application files he needs on his local drive. I just was confronted with scripts that don't run on the server version according to script editor. I have since search but not found clear answers on: - Does this apply to my applications that run each individual on the clients computers even though they are using the data on the server? - Does this apply only to applications run from the server on the server? - I thought the true need of the server version is to assure safety, backup and speed, will the server ever run the client application in my case? Should I start rewriting all my scripts? Any hint or link in the right direction is appreciated. Stefan Filemaker Pro Advanced 11 / Windows
Wim Decorte Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 You have the wrong configuration in mind. When you deploy FileMaker Server the application files stay on the server in a non-shared folder. Each workstation just has FileMaker Pro and the users use "open remote" to open the hosted files. there is nothing to deploy to the workstations. The server-compatible script steps only apply to server-side script schedules, it does not apply to scripts run by the clients on hosted files.
