Configuring FileMaker Server 23
Opening runtime solutions automatically
Runtime solutions are database files created in FileMaker Developer
that are typically used with a dedicated, “bound” copy of the
FileMaker
Pro application. If you host runtime database solutions
created by FileMaker Developer, you can enable FileMaker Server to
automatically open runtime solutions when FileMaker Server starts,
provided runtime solutions are stored in one of the designated
locations. See
“Default folders for files” on page 31 for more
information.
If the runtime solutions do not have .fp7 filename extensions, you
must register their filename extensions in FileMaker Server.
Windows: Configure runtime solution properties in the Database
Hosting
assistant or select host and then choose Action menu >
Properties > Runtime Solutions tab.
Mac OS: To configure runtime solution properties, choose View
menu > Configure, then click the Runtime Solutions tab.
Specifying additional database and default
backup folders
Windows: Change default folder properties in Action menu >
Properties > Default Folders tab.
Mac OS: To change default folder properties, choose View menu >
Configure
, then click the Default Folders tab.
