The Data Migration Tool recently had a couple of new options added to the commands for carrying out a migration. We no longer have to worry about keeping the version of the Data Migration Tool in sync with the version of the FileMaker Server.

Data Migration Tool įileMaker 19.6 now includes the Data Migration Tool, which is installed along with the rest of FileMaker Server. FileMaker Server 19.6 can do it in about 7 seconds. FileMaker Server 19.5 and earlier could take up to 10 minutes to make a clone of that file. Now it can just make a clone straight from the open file. We had to use 'pre-clone' procedure to work around the dreaded ESOCKETTIMEOUT error.įileMaker Server before 19.6 had to make a backup of the file first and then make the clone. If the cloning took more than two minutes, the fetch would give up. Before 19.6, creating clones from large files could take a long time, especially if the server was a slower machine. It does this as part of its fully automated migration and deployment operation. Otto can automatically fetch clones of your FileMaker files and move them to your production server. Version 2.4.0 has support for all the new migration options that have been released in the latest version of the FileMaker Data Migration tool. Migrator.fmp12, our migration application that works with Otto to set up and run your migrations, has also been upgraded. Otto 3.4.7 is ready to take advantage of it. However, when it comes to improving Migrations, one feature in particular stands out faster cloning. FileMaker Server 19.6 is a significant release with many great new features, which you can read about here.
