In this movie we will see how runtime files can be hosted on FileMaker Server. Run time files are FileMaker files that are compiled into a standalone application so that they can be opened without having to use a real copy of FileMaker Pro. And you can create runtimes only with FileMaker Pro Advanced. If we go to FileMaker Pro Advanced, in the Tools Menu you'll find Developer Utilities and if you now go ahead and check any file, under the Solution Options you will have the option of creating that file or compiling that file into a runtime solution. The thing that is of relevance for FileMaker Server is right here under Extension. The extension that you use here will have to be configured on FileMaker Server in order for FileMaker Server to be able to host that file. Now, here on Windows, on one of my Windows workstations, I have created a runtime based on the file that is called BB Stats. Now, this particular file here, BB Stats.BB7 and BB7 being the custom extension that I've used to compile the runtime, this file is basically the original FileMaker File in disguise and all of the rest has been added by the Developer Utilities when we created the runtime and these things are necessary to run the runtime on its own. Now, what we need to do if you want to host a runtime file is to move this particular file with the custom extension into FileMaker Servers Databases Folder. Now, runtimes are not networkable; only one person at a time can work in them. So what happens if you have a runtime file but you need to share it to a number of people? Well, then you have to host it on FileMaker Server and anyone with a copy of FileMaker Pro can then use that file. So let me walk you through that process. The data file, as we said, is this particular file here, the one with the BB7 extension. So we take that file and we move it into FileMaker Server's Databases Folder. So the file is there. Now we will go to the Admin Console for that particular server and what we need to do here on the Databases Server Configuration Tab under Databases is to allow FileMaker Server to automatically host registered runtime solutions. And we'll go ahead and register the BB7 custom extension that we've used for the runtime. So we'll go ahead and save those changes. Now let's go have a look at the Databases Section and we see that our runtime file, at least the data file from our runtime shows up here. So let's go ahead and open it. There we go. We now see that the file, the data file from the runtime, is being hosted by a FileMaker Server through all of these technologies. And it works just the same on the Mac. Remember that after moving the file to a FileMaker Server running on OS X, you'll need to check the permissions so that the owner is FM Server of Group FMS Admin. Now, the nice thing is that it does not matter if the runtime file was created on Windows or a Mac. The data file, the one with the custom extension, is really just a FileMaker File in disguise. So the bottom line is when you host a runtime file, it behaves exactly like a normal FileMaker file.
