I have an AppleScript that updates our web databases from data in
the production databases each night. Here's a code fragment:
with timeout of 1800 seconds
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
go to document "RadioStationsWeb.fp5"
delay 3
do script FileMaker script "Update Radio Stations"
end tell
end timeout
I have six databases to update, and they all use basically the
same code.
I was under the impression, which appears to be mistaken, that
execution of the script would stay in the with timeout structure
until either the operation finished or the timeout was reached.
Hallo ken,
I do not know what the script does for you. I have an scheduled
import for file-synchronisation an the followed script worked good
for me:
with timeout of 10000 seconds
get window "Aktivitdten.fp5"
do script (FileMaker script "Datenabgleich Import
mit Detektor" of database ,
"Aktivitdten.fp5") --whose name begins with
"Datenabgleich Import mit Detektor")
delay 4
repeat while name of current layout is not "Listenansicht"
delay 1
end repeat
end timeout
the FileMaker-Script "Datenabgleich Import mit Detektor" starts
with another layout, at end it went to "Listenansicht". You can
also use in the AS-Script the segment:
repeat while window "Import" exists
delay 1
end repeat
The reason: when FileMaker imports or export Data there is an
Messagewindow in front with the specific name and a progressbar.
