We at Skeleton Key have our own set of scripts and custom functions that are part of a standard template for any new development project. FileMaker Server has the ability to keep an error log, but devising a system that captures errors in a readily available (and useful) way has traditionally been on the shoulders of the developer.

Error LoggingĮrror trapping is a task that sooner or later becomes part of any development project. We’ve put together a nice sample file that demonstrates one possible use case, but before diving into that, let’s cover the new features themselves. This in combination with a full palette of new data file interaction script steps offers some interesting possibilities for developers in any field. The ability to activate error logging will provide developers and database admins easy access to valuable troubleshooting data that previously existed only via a download from FileMaker Server. With the release of FileMaker 18 comes several new utility script steps.
