data into a FileMaker triggered by server schedule



FMP9v3, FMS9, FM9Adv

I have data in text files that need to be imported as records, this is scripted and works. When the same script is run from server schedule it doesn't work.


Have this same data, PHP scripted into MySQL tables, have scripting to import from the ESS tables into FileMaker, this works. When the script is run from a server schedule, it doesn't work.


I now learn that import is not web compatible, so FMS seems to think triggering a scripted import in file on its own hard drive, from an attached volume with SQL data, is impossible as it is 'on the web', yet both a fm9adv/ssh/openremote/fmnet, and ssh/rdc/fm9/open remote can run the same script in the same file successfully.

1. How is that?

2. How, do I get data into FM, using a FMS schedule triggered script?
