Newbies avery Posted June 11, 2001 Newbies Share Posted June 11, 2001 I am running FMP5 Unlimited. Does anyone know how I can implement remote administration or open and close databases via a web browser in order to limit the load on my server while using WC?

Anatoli Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Use script for opening. The best is to have one file all the time on e.g. system.fp5 with such scripts. Or use Remote console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 "Use script for opening." But without Unlimited 5.5 there is the danger of database files/format files problems if more than one user makes a near simultaneous request for any script.

Newbies avery Posted June 12, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted June 12, 2001 Anatoli- Could you briefly explain the remote console for me? I've looked high and low for some explanation of use of remote console/administration and can not figure out how to get it to work. Thanks for the info!

John May - Point In Space Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 We used AppleScript and Lasso to build a custom solution for this type of operation. See the description of our Database Manager on our web site http://www.pointinspace.com/. If anyone wants to contact me off-list, I can supply some example AppleScripts for such to get you started. - John GradesDynamic.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, but in web scenario no one should use scripts on web to gain FM full functionality. It will not work reliably or it may even crash the Unlimited. On the other hand, Administrator can use scripts for opening and closing databases, because: 1. no one else will use them 2. single step script run in 0.001 second and actual opening of new database will take up to a second. In worst cases all requests will be handled with delay of 1 second, which is the same, if Administrator will open the database directly from FM.
