Perform Script on Server Doesn't Run

Dear FileMaker Pros,

Perform Script on Server (PSoS) Doesn't Run

I run FMP 13 (on Windows.)  I import records to my Hosting FM Server from my Client.

Running the script steps from the Client works well, but its a time consuming task of more

than 4 hours, the records are big, almost one million.
To save time, I switched the script  to Perform Script on Server, (wait for completion, unchecked.)

The script  does not perform Import records, as it did without PSoS.

My script steps on the hosting Server Db: ScriptName:"Import A"
> Go to Layout ["Part_A"]
> Go to Field [Select/perform; Stock_A::Field_A]
> Go to Record /Request/Page[First]
> Import Records [No dialog;"Receive_Gen"Add;Windows ANSI]

 

My Perform Script on Server on Client:
> Go to Layout ["Part_A"]
>Perform script on Server ["Import_A"]
> Go to Record/Request/Page [Last]
Note: Unchecked - wait for completion

Would appreciate your comments.

Thanks in advance

Lawrence

When you run import from server side script you must explicitly tell the session where the file is and it can only be in the Server Document folder.

If you are expecting the import dialog to be produced so that you can choose a file that will NOT happen when PSOS

Also keep in mind that your script on server will do more than the above; before it even gets to the script it will run your on-open script.  If you have anything in there that is not server-compatible that may fail.

Hello Kris,

Thank you very, very much.  The scripts works well now.

Regards

Hi Wim,

Thanks. That information was helpful.

Thanks.
