Newbies btrottie Posted October 31, 2001 Newbies Share Posted October 31, 2001 I recently moved FMServer v5.02 from an old NT 4.0 server box to a new Windows 2000 server. When I run FMpro v5.03 on the server console it maxes out the CPU and the performane is unacceptable...The reason why i need to get this working is because of remote users that need to connect to the server via pcanywhere.... Thanx in advance! Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Are you running the server AND client on the same machine? That is NO-NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies btrottie Posted November 5, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted November 5, 2001 why is it a "no-no"??...it worked fine on NT v4.0.... Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies liebi Posted November 26, 2001 Newbies Share Posted November 26, 2001 I assume then that FMP Unlimited can be regarded as a client too. Would that make it a NO-NO-NO-NO? However please explain why? Maybe this is a configuration issue rather than a NO-NO issue? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 The core issue here is that you should not be running anything else on the CPU running FIleMAker Server. one of the most processor intensive service there is. Additionally, the propensity for damage to the FIleMaker Pro files being hosted by FIleMaker Server is vastly increased if you attempt to open those files with a copy of FileMAker Pro or FIleMAker Pro Unlimited. Additionally, there will likely be a Port 5003 conflict and/or a TCP conflict if both FIleMaker Server and FIleMaker Pro are running on the same box. It's Ok to have both INSTALLED, just don't run them simultaneously. See the FileMAker Server Best Practices White paper on the FMI website.

Kurt Knippel Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 In general you want to run the database server on a dedicated machine. Thet means that no other software should be running. Specifically you NEVER EVER NEVER want to run both server and client software on the same machine at the same time. It has the potential to cause serious performance and security issues.
