Can i set a field in table b file b on server b with a script, either psos or server scheduled, fired from file a on server a?

Seems as not...

– A server-side FileMaker script that is running on one FileMaker server cannot open a database that is hosted on a different FileMaker server

 

From Databuzz

Found a work around.

A server can never be a client to another server.  So it can not PSoS into another server, import directly from another server, ... things like that.

 

I figured out a workaround to get PSOS or SSS to do a data transfer from one server to another that does not involve import/export and does not involve web services.

I typically just use the XML API because it is always there and it very simple...

im using an opener file strategy...

The issue that i had to solve is that FMS service <> FMS service connections do not pass credentials without the client.

Security restrictions prevent me from using any kind of file based data transfer. The server to server connection has to be SSL.
