Download FileMaker Server 9.0.3

FileMaker is a database program that has its origins in the years 1982 and 1983 when it was developed for the Dos platform under the name Nutshell. With the introduction of the first Macintosh in 1985, the program was renamed FileMaker and provided with a form-based gui. After several versions, the first version of FileMaker appeared in late 1992 that could work on both Macintosh and Windows, allowing the same data to be consulted on both platforms. In the years since, they have worked hard to further improve FileMaker, such as extending the maximum database size to 8TB, a tabbed interface, tooltips and Named Layout Objects.

FileMaker can already exchange data with other FileMaker installations by default, but FileMaker Server was developed for improved availability, security and performance. This program makes it easier to have the databases available 24/7 and provides, among other things, scheduled automatic backups.

The developers have released an update to FileMaker Server 9.0 that brings the version number to 9.0.3. The list of changes looks like this:

Fixes in FileMaker Server 9.0.3.325:

• Databases can now be closed and clients can be disconnected correctly while a FileMaker ODBC/JDBC session is active.
• Field indexes no longer get out of sync between server side scripts, ODBC/JDBC clients, and FileMaker clients.
• FileMaker Server Admin Console now usually indicates when a scheduled task is running.
• Databases copied to the Databases folder (within the FileMaker Server directory) now show the correct extended privileges in the Databases pane of FileMaker Server Admin Console.
• In Windows, fixed a problem with not being able to stop the Web Publishing Engine when stopping FileMaker Server from the Service Control Manager.
• In the Clients pane of FileMaker Server Admin Console, the Perform Action button is now enabled even with no clients selected in the list.
• In Mac OS X, you can now unmount or eject a network or external disk after uploading a database from it using Admin Console.
• Disconnecting a Server-side scripting client while the script is running now halts the script.
• DTD validation no longer fails when port 80 is used.
• FileMaker Server now correctly sends an email notification when an error occurs or a schedule completes after the DBS has been stopped and started by FileMaker Server Admin Console, via the CLI, or if the DBS is set not to automatically start when FileMaker Server starts.
• Record IDs are now consistent between database sessions when retrieving data from an external ODBC data source via Custom Web Publishing.
• The consistency check on open will no longer report a database as damaged in cases where the issue found is completely innocuous.
• PHP Site Assistant:
  • PHP Site Assistant now picks up related fields from a portal added during a site assistant session and adds them appropriately when you click Refresh Fields.
  • In generated web pages that use an HTML form (for example, the Find Records and Add Record pages), clicking in a form field now always puts the insertion point at the beginning, not the middle, of the field.
  • In generated web pages, line breaks in data now appear correctly, because “
    ” rather than “\n” is now used for line breaks.
  • Refreshing the list of layouts in the Layout Group pane of PHP Site Assistant, no longer disables the “Choose a Site Profile” link.
  • PHP Site Assistant now correctly displays fields from a subsequent layout if the first layout in the database is empty.
  • In a generated Records List page, the following links are now translated to French, Italian, German, Swedish, or Japanese, as appropriate: First, Previous Record, Next and Last.
  • In pages generated with the “Input with Confirmation” site profile, you can now enter data into portal fields without receiving an error that says “Error result is NULL!!”
