This is not vanilla FileMaker so what other technologies are being used to bind mirror sync
#MIRRORSYNC SERIAL NUMBERS#
If you are using serial numbers (as opposed to UUIDs), MirrorSync will re-write your foreign keys as necessary to make sure that parent-child relationships are maintained when syncing to different devices. It makes sure to sync parent records prior to children records, so that referential integrity validation will pass, and also to make sure that cascading deletion rules work correctly. MirrorSync fully supports related tables when syncing. If you were to replace a synced container field with some other container data, then this new container data would be written back to the server, exactly as if the user had been connected directly to FileMaker Server. The files are preserved exactly as their original state, so an MD5 hash of the container data is identical on both sides of the sync operation (I just tested this to be sure). If you have a JPEG from a camera that has embedded EXIF data, this will all be preserved during a sync. Meaning posting a New picture on the end that didn’t originate the first picture. Will MS cause a Tampering issue if the container field is altered in anyway, such as you did with Sam’s changes. Does mirrorsync preserve embedded metadata, and/or change files in any way? In other words, will files pass a hash check on both sides of the transfer? Handling large amounts of media content – image and video, for example. You can see the 4-minute video demonstration here: Ĭontainer fields… does mirrorsync preserve contained files eg. I’ve uploaded a quick video to YouTube showing how this works. I’m sure 360works found a clever solution but this is currently my only unanswed concern.Ī lot of people asked this question, which makes me wish that I had taken the time to show this during the webinar. I will try MS because I’m concern about the way it solves the same-record-and-same-field conflicts. Resolving conflicts of data in the same field. If you still have questions about the content we covered or if you’re interested in learning more about leveraging MirrorSync with your existing solution, email FM Academy at conflicts between data inside the same field: how does it happen? Can you show an example? If you asked a question during the webinar, it should be here. I thought that it would be helpful for everybody to see all of the questions and answers, so I’ve put them together into a single list.
There were a lot more questions than we had time for. Here’s the video for those of you who missed the live performance:
#MIRRORSYNC FREE#
MirrorSync is completely free for syncing one device.
#MIRRORSYNC OFFLINE#
Work on an offline mobile database at the fastest possible speed, and sync your changes with FileMaker Server when you have working network access. Thank you to everyone who attended our webinar titled 360Works’ MirrorSync 2- The perfect mobile development solution. MirrorSync is the best way to use your FileMaker database on an iPad, iPhone, or laptop without a network connection.
