Why does it look a little more complex than you said? Now, from your desktop or from your iOS device, you can try to click each of the 8 buttons on each layout (In Context and De-contexualized). Note that the performance differences will be even more noticeable if the server is remote, typically on a WAN network. If it’s not, you can do so from the FileMaker Server Admin console. Ensure that the XML web publishing is enabled.
Please download the demo file and install it on your server (it won’t work if it’s not hosted by FileMaker Server). It will then be performed in no time, and can send a result so your client side script can use it and adapt its behaviour.Īll it takes is check the XML checkbox on FileMaker Server!
At any time, FileMaker Pro/Go can trigger a script on FileMaker Server. So what if you’d call a script on the server from the client? This is what FMSDIFM is about. Web publishing can of course perform a script on a database. FileMaker Server also comes with several web publishing methods, including XML. It also allows really hiding objects on the right side of a layout. FileMaker 12 new feature Insert From URL allows interacting with a web server. The fact that it’s 64 bits and can be allocated more memory, as well as the relative independence of the database engine which won’t slow down during backups or when a container field is requested by a user, make FMSDIFM secure and stable. How does it work?įirst, the new FileMaker Server 12 architecture is of great importance for this technique. By huge, we mean something like several hundred times faster!Īs you will soon discover, performance is only one of the many benefits of FMSDIFM. The principle is the following: by offloading the client and performing all CPU and Data-access intensive tasks to the server, you can improve performance by a huge factor, including on the LAN, a WAN connection, and even more if you’re using FileMaker Go. What is FMSDIFM?įMSDIFM stands for “FileMaker Server, Do It For Me”. Be ready, this is going to change your developer life, and your users’ experience.
From now, you can deploy FMSDIFM on your own FileMaker Server. Today, on the occasion of the Berlin Pause On Error conference, we release a free, fully functional, open source and downloadable version. The principle was public, but the implementation was for our hosting service customers only. The technique was widely discussed among the FileMaker community, but although it was incredibly efficient and stable, it was quite difficult to deploy, and this is why we didn’t give the source away. (Orchestra, play loud!)Īlmost a year ago, soon after the release of FileMaker Pro 12, we already released FMSDIFM, and you might already have seen this video. Today is the day everything changes for FileMaker developers.
