ILEMAKER SERVER 9 HELP 193
G, H
Hibernate
Windows: A power conservation mode that saves energy on an idle system. If the computer
running FileMaker Server hibernates, all client activity is suspended. Hibernation will not occur
on the server machine if there are clients connected to hosted databases.
Hosted database
A file opened by FileMaker Server for clients to use on a computer network. One or more clients
can access and change information simultaneously in hosted databases.
I, J, K
IP (Internet Protocol) address
A four-part number, usually formatted as 12.34.56.78, that uniquely identifies a computer on a
network or on the Internet.
IWP (Instant Web Publishing)
A method of sharing your FileMaker databases with other users via a web browser. Web clients
are limited to the layouts that you provide and to the privilege sets assigned to their user
accounts.
JDBC
A Java API that uses SQL statements to access data from, and exchange data with, many
database management systems. The JDBC driver communicates between your Java applet and
the FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server Advanced data source.
JDBC client driver
A JAR (Java Archive) file that sends an SQL query to access data stored in a database and
delivers the requested data to the client application.
Java Web Start
A technology that deploys applications to users by making the applications available from a
standard web server. The user computer requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
L
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
This protocol, which runs over TCP/IP, makes it possible for system administrators to centrally
manage users, groups, devices, and other data.
M
Machine roles
Each computer in a FileMaker Server deployment is assigned a machine role as either a master
(only one) or a worker (one or two).
Master
The machine in a FileMaker Server deployment that runs the Database Server and manages all
worker machines. The master communicates with the workers to handle database requests
from users, configure the settings on all machines, and monitor the status and activity of all
components.
