Advice for UUID generation using FM Server Advanced

[programThis]

Greetings,

Apologies if the solution to this is obvious, but I'm not sure what approach I should take. My situation: we are using FileMaker Pro (not Advanced) in conjunction with FileMaker Server Advanced, and also use Instant Web Publishing (IWP) from the FM Server, along with Enterprise version of SuperContainer.

It's because we are using SuperContainer that I would like to be able to use UUIDs to generate the directories where SuperContainer stores its files. So, ideally when client using either FM Pro, or from the web through IWP connect and create a new entry in the database hosted on FM Server, they would have access to the UUID function in the server's installation of ScriptMaster.

So, is this situation possible, or does ScriptMaster have to be installed onto each client? If so, how do I register the UUID function on the client without needing to run the ScriptMaster.fp7 file and manually selecting the UUID function? Or is there another approach to having the UUID function being registered, and available to connected clients? I can't create a plug-in containing only the UUID function, since we don't have FileMaker Pro Advanced.

It's likely obviously I'm new to not only ScriptMaster but also FileMaker itself, so any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

I think I managed to figure this out on my own, but certainly should anyone have any further advice please share it.

I was able to properly register the UUID function using the copy/paste method into a start up script, as outlined in one of the demonstration videos, and that allowed me to create UUIDs as I needed.
