Configuring FileMaker Server 43
Whenever FileMaker Server restarts after sleep or a forced shutdown,
you should always check the Application Log (Windows) or Event.log
(Mac
OS) for database corruption notifications. For more information
about viewing the events, see
“Viewing activities in the Event Viewer
(Windows)” or “Viewing activities in the Event.log (Mac OS)” on
page 51.
Also, check your scheduled tasks to ensure that important backups or
scripts were not scheduled to run while the operating system was
asleep or off. These tasks will not run until the next scheduled time
when FileMaker
Server is running and the operating system is awake.
