Verifying access via JDBC
When verifying access to a FileMaker database file via JDBC, make sure:
1 the FileMaker database file is hosted and available.
1 your FileMaker account uses a privilege set with the extended privilege of Access via
ODBC/JDBC.
1 The FileMaker Server or FileMaker Pro host application has been set up for sharing via
ODBC/JDBC.
To share a FileMaker database file as a data source, use FileMaker Pro to define accounts that
need access to the database file. Then, control access to the database file by assigning
privilege sets to the accounts, including the extended privilege of access via ODBC/JDBC.
Finally, enable the FileMaker
Server or FileMaker Pro host application to share data via
ODBC/JDBC. For details, see FileMaker
Pro Help or FileMaker Server Help.
1 The JDBC client driver registration and the JDBC URL are correct (the driver can be included
inside the Java Application or located on the client machine).
