11.How hard is it to use XML import/export? Can anyone use it?
While the creation of the XSLT style sheets does require a good understanding of XML and XSLT, the benefits of our XML import/export can be enjoyed by all users. Note that a developer can empower an entire workgroup, very efficiently, to enjoy the benefits of XML data-exchange while hiding the plumbing from the users.
To further assist our customers with better understanding of XML and XSLT, we ship 8 XSLT style sheet examples with FileMaker Pro 6. Furthermore, customers can visit the FileMaker XSLT Library, which is part of our FileMaker XML Central. The FileMaker XSLT Library is a repository of XML/XSLT examples that are available for download at no charge.
12.Why did FileMaker add integrated XML support in FileMaker Pro 6?
XML support is the tool that best accomplishes this task. With the implementation of our XML support, FileMaker Pro 6 users are now able to gather data from more data-sources and share data with more applications.FileMaker Pro 6 customers can benefit from XML import and export.
Through the creation of an XSLT style sheet , a workgroup can:
1. Import XML data from a SQL server without the use of ODBC drivers.
2. Share information with other workgroups who don’t even use FileMaker Pro by sending data from FileMaker directly into a formatted Excel file (*.xls) or other text-based file formats.
3. Create charts and graphics (*.svg) to represent FileMaker data.
13. Is there RAIC support for Instant Web Publishing in FileMaker Pro 6?
There is no support for RAIC technology in FileMaker Pro 6. Use FileMaker Pro 6 Unlimited to deploy Web-based solutions to an unlimited number of users. It also includes the FileMaker Pro Web Server Connector and support for RAIC, which can increase the performance and scalability of your FileMaker Pro web databases. Toolbars are not supported under Mac OS X.
14.What is FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited?
• FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited includes all of the powerful desktop database functionality of FileMaker Pro 5.5, plus it allows databases to be hosted via the Web to an unlimited number of unique visitors with unique IP addresses.
• FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited also includes the Web Server Connector and tools needed to use and access advanced functionalities such as Custom Web Publishing (via CDML), XML, JDBC, Java class libraries, and JavaScript.
15.What is the difference between FileMaker Pro 5.5 and FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited?
There are four major differences between FileMaker Pro 5.5 and FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited:
1. The Web Companion that ships with FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited allows access to the Web Companion for an unlimited number of web browsers. The Web Companion that ships with FileMaker Pro 5.5 is limited to 10 IP addresses in a rolling 12 hour period.
2. FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited includes the FileMaker Web Server Connector. Additional copies of FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited can be used to set up a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Computers (RAIC) structure to take advantage of scalable load balancing, and fault tolerance, to increase the performance of FileMaker web enabled databases. Computers running Mac OS X cannot serve as RAIC machines
3. FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited can be used with various CGIs, middleware, and application servers for deployment across the Web.
4. Tools and information needed to implement solutions using advanced functionalities (JDBC driver, Java class library, Custom Web Publishing [CDML], Custom Workgroup Portal, XML) are not included in FileMaker Pro 5.5.
16.What is the FileMaker Web Server Connector?
The FileMaker Web Server Connector is a Java servlet that is used to connect FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited with powerful web servers.
A servlet is a standard Java based mechanism for extending the functionality of a web server. The FileMaker Web Server Connector is used to pass through (or relay) requests received on a web server to FileMaker. The reasons to use the FileMaker Web Server Connector include.
To take advantage of other web server plug-ins and features including SSL and server-side includes, provide a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Computers (RAIC) structure to increase throughput and reliability, increase performance by storing static pages and graphic images on the Web server, bypassing the Web Companion for pages that don't involve databases, and provide redundancy to allow for operation through failure situations.
17.Can I use the FileMaker Web Server Connector with FileMaker Pro 5.5?
The FileMaker Web Server Connector is designed to work only with FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited, the dedicated web publishing product in our product family.
18.Can I use the FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited Web Server Connector with Instant Web Publishing?
No. The improved FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited Web Server Connector is intended for use with Custom Web Publishing.
19.How can I run reports and print labels via browser in databases hosted under FileMaker Pro Unlimited?
If you need more functionality than browsing, searching, adding, updating, or deleting records, you will want to access the database using a copy of FileMaker Pro, rather than a browser.
20.How can I set up a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Computers (RAIC) with FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited to increase scalability, performance and robustness?
The FileMaker Web Server Connector, included with FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited, lets you set up a RAIC. A RAIC increases the scalability of your web-based FileMaker Pro solutions and helps ensure operation through fail-over situations. To set up a RAIC, an additional copy of FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited is required for each CPU you wish to add to the RAIC.
