When FileMaker Server is within your development environment it provides crash protection, automated backups and other learning benefits which you simply won't get if you only upload your FileMaker file to a host and simply work that way. For FileMaker development, the solution to this problem is to always develop using FileMaker Server. It's like you're constantly looking over your shoulder waiting for the next FileMaker crash. Having that looming fear that your application or file may crash at any time is not a happy place. The worst feeling in the world, while developing, is one of instability. Unless you're in the process of learning a new environment, not that many developers are keen to spending a bunch of time re-configuring their development environment.
Whether you're a hobbyist developer or a full-time professional, it's important to make sure your development environment is both stable and reliable. If you're interested in making this process happen as quickly as possible, then using Perform Script on Server is what you should learn to use.

This video specifically covers how to restore the user context for processing a found set of data. That is, the proper layout and the exact same found set to be used for processing the data. One of the biggest issues with running server side scripts with Perform Script on Server is the fact that you need to know what's happening when the script is running, how to troubleshoot and most importantly, how to replicate the current user context. While there are still various limitations, such as the number of simultaneous server side scripts, it's absolutely something that any serious FileMaker developer needs to know how to use.
With the addition of Perform Script on Server we gained a REALLY BIG performance boost by being able to perform most any script on the server. Many times, FileMaker does it's best to optimize whatever is being done, but it's still not as fast as executing certain things directly on the server.

The processing of a script, client side, always had, and still does, make a full round trip for all kinds of these processing activities. Prior to FileMaker 13 we never even had the option of performing scripted tasks where the data actually exists. Show all content Videos about "filemaker server"
