Server side importing between filemaker tables

[brian rich]

We are running FMP 11 Server on Windows Server 2008, with FMP11 Clients

I have a script that I have developed to take a daily snapshot of two related tables in a single Filemaker database by directly importing records from the primary tables to separate snapshot tables.

It works file as a client side script, but fails when I run it as a scheduled script with an error 100 (file not found) on the Import Records step. It seems that the server does not 'see' it's own files as a valid source for importing - I've tried specifying the source as a local file file:/data.fp7 and also as a networked file fmnet:/nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/data.fp7 but get the error 100 in both cases.

Does this mean that I can't import directly between tables, but have to go via file exports and imports through the server's temporary folders?

Thanks

Brian

Found the answer...

Apparently, FMP exporting and importing is not supported server-side
