Server Side Script Error - Trying to set up daily export

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I've scheduled a server side script for the first time. The script is in our CRM database, and it essentially just "shows all" and then performs an export to a specific file path. I have set this to run every night at 8pm. 

 

So far, I have not been able to get it to run successfully on schedule. When I run the script in the database itself, it exports the data successfully, but when the server runs the scheduled script, it gives scripting error (800), which is that it can't save the file in that location. 

 

Am I doing something wrong? I even changed it so that the file exports to a location on the server itself, thinking maybe that was the problem. Still no luck. 

 

I am running FMS 11 and FMP 11 on OSX 10.7.5

 

Thank you for your help!

Server side scripts can only export to two places: 

1. the Documents Folder in the root level of FileMaker Server.

2. A temporary folder created (and deleted) for the instance of the script schedule

Thank you so much! I originally misunderstood and was exporting to the Documents folder on the server rather in the FMS Documents folder. Works great now. Thanks for your help!
