FileMaker WebDirect settings
When you configure web publishing settings, Admin Console prompts you to restart the
Web Publishing Engine after you save changes to settings. This makes all web published databases unavailable to web users while the Web Publishing Engine restarts.
Important Change web publishing settings only when the Web Publishing Engine is not being used. Web publishing clients can lose unsaved work when the Web Publishing Engine restarts.
To specify FileMaker WebDirect settings:
1. Click the Web Publishing > FileMaker WebDirect tab.
2. Select Enable FileMaker WebDirect.
To | Do this |
Set the database session timeout value | Set the number of minutes for Session Timeout. The Web Publishing Engine disconnects users who have been inactive for the specified timeout period. All FileMaker WebDirect solutions use database sessions, even for users that log in using administrator accounts. So all FileMaker WebDirect sessions are affected by the session timeout setting. |
Select the status area label language | For Status Area Language, select the language that FileMaker WebDirect will use if the language on the client’s operating system is not supported. |
Note In a multiple-machine deployment, changes to these settings apply to the master machine only. On the worker machines, these settings remain the installation default settings.
