FileMaker - Scripting Remote DataBase

  • Thread-topic: FileMaker - Scripting Remote DataBase

I built scripting to automatically populate a database and everything works great when I open the database on the machine. Now I need to move this database to FileMaker Server and open it on a client as a remote database and run my scripting to keep populating it. However scripting of a remote database doesn’t behave the same. Here are two examples when trying to script a remote database that you don’t get any results to work with. If you were to run one at a time it really shouldn’t error. FileMaker Server 11 doesn’t seem to be the trouble because I tried just sharing from FileMaker Pro 10 software with the same results.

 

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"

          tell database "NameOfDataBase.fp7"

                   show every record

                   delete every request

                   set MyRequest to create new request --Error

                   --Object not found. (-1728)

                  

                   set NewRecord to create new record --Error

                   --Object not found. (-1728)

          end tell

end tell

 

Does anyone have any experience in scripting remote databases? The show every record command works. What makes remote DB different?

 

Thanks!!!
