Hello everybody, I’m new here. I've been a FileMaker developer for over 10 years and now I’m experimenting the MBS plugin. What I need is to build a file, to be hosted on FileMaker Server, that listens to incoming connections on a TCP port and reads data. The data consist in very simple alphanumeric strings that come from a barcode scanner. The difficult part is that I’d like to do all of this server side, without involving FileMaker Pro clients. Is it possibile?
I’m using a trial server license of MBS plugin. I installed the 64 bit version of the plugin on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine with FileMaker Server 16. I uploaded on the server the “HTTP Server hosted” sample file, added the registration instructions and tested it, but without success. I thought I had to create a scheduled program on the server to run the “Initialize” script, but it doesn’t work. It seems to fail already at the registration step, but the only information I can get from that is a question mark. Doing some experiments, I only could make the file work by installing the plugin into my Mac and opening the sample file from the server with FM Pro. But the 9999 port that is listening is my Mac port, not the server port. Trying to do the same with FM Pro installed on the server machine, it seems to correctly register and initialise, but when I open the http://127.0.0.1:9999 <http://127.0.0.1:9999/> URL I get a connection failed message on the browser, even after opening the TCP 9999 port on Windows Firewall. I hope I’ve been clear enough. Can you help me please? Kind regards Federico Severin UNIRISK S.r.l.
