Newbies cjohnston Posted July 19, 2015 Newbies Posted July 19, 2015 I have a simple database being served out of FM Server 14. I now have 4 Ipads that collect a small amount of data in the field when NOT connected to the FM Server. When the Ipads return at the end of each day, I want to build a script that exports the new records to the FM Server I am struggling with this, because the export script step does not seem to allow "REMOTE" files as an option. And I don't see how I could tell the FM Server to import from the Ipads????
bcooney Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 It seems a simple request, however, it is not. Resources to start with include: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7720/~/database-synchronization---an-overview-of-approaches http://timdietrich.me/fmeasysync/ http://gozync.com http://www.360works.com/filemaker-sync/
Cable Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 You're looking at it backwards. FileMaker server cannot import from the iPads because it can't see them. However, the iPads can see FM server! So, you add table occurrences to the server in your iPad solution and then you can import from the iPad tables to the server tables.
