Perform Script on Server

Say STOP to waiting for a long process to complete in FileMaker13 applications. As we all know,server scheduling or running of a script from the FileMaker server is much faster to execute than from a FileMaker Pro client,so it’s time to accelerate the process by using the most beautiful feature provided by FileMaker13 i.e. Perform Script on Server (PSoS).

With everyday progresses, I am getting more and more opportunities to explore the new Perform Script on Server feature in FileMaker13 and each time it’s making me more curious than the previous one. There’s a new way of running scripts in FileMaker Server 13 by sending request from Pro client to FileMaker server. In my view, its one of the predominant features that has been introduced in the latest version of FileMaker.
Lets me get into more details about PSoS. (more…)

Display Custom Error Message when WebViewer is unable to load an Image

For instance, I am having a webviewer on a layout which loads an image from a specified path. But if there is no image found then it shows “?” icon or “object not found” etc. In that case I want to display custom error message; here is a script which we can run on the layout where it is having the webviewer and check if there is any issue in image loading.

-> If object not found 404 error show Custom Error Message
