Question : Filemaker Scheduled Import of Tab Delimited File Not Working
|
|
|
|
My scheduled import of a tab delimted file, tenant.txt, works manually, but does not work when scheduled. Searched EE and Google and found the following: http://www.filemaker.com/help/html/scripts_ref1.36.68.html
However, it is confusing. It seems to say that the file has to be located in Filemaker Server/data/documents. I searched for that and did not find any such folder. Second, it says I must use the full path, which I assume is the UNC. However, this did not work for me either. The path we originally used in the Import Dialogue box is filewin:/R:/fmExports/tenantList.txt. Any suggestions?

Also, it's weird that you don't have a "Documents" folder inside Filemaker Server/ Data/. Mine was created automatically during the install process.... I would create one and make sure the permission are the same as the other folders in the Data directory. Your file definitely needs to be sitting in here in order for the server script to work.
