Getting the Object Names

[Chuck Pelto]

Is there some special syntax for LayoutObjectNames?

I've been dinking around with this call and can't get it to return  
anything into a text field using the following code:

SetField ( myTable::myField ; LayoutObjectNames ( $fileName ;  
$layoutName ) ) // where the local variables are set to a data file  
name and the layout in that data file.

There IS a named object in that layout. But even if I hardwire the to  
params for LayoutObjectNames, no text appears in the field I wish to  
have set to such names.

Regards,

Chuck

This is just screwy....

I tried the same script in a DIFFERENT file and it works. But it  
still doesn't work in the first file I tried it in.

Regards,

Chuck

Might be a sign that there's an extraneous space or return in the object name.

object name.

I believe a period in the file name may cause this to fail as well.

Hi, I am interested in the possibility of moving my Intel Filemaker  
Server 9 machine from a 2 ghz PPC to whatever the best Intel box would  
be, most likely a 2.66 Mac Pro that I have here at work. I'd like to  
ask if anyone could tell me a) what the likely overall database speed  
increase is likely to be, and b) does FM Server specifically use  
multiple cores? I dislike the idea that my expensive multi-core Mac  
might not be benefiting from multiple cores, and I can't find any  
information specifically saying that it does work well with modern  
Macs. Can anyone give their two cents and help me figure out if  
upgrading to an Intel machine for the server will really help my  
overall serving speed on the user end?

I would focus on disk speed over processor speed.

IFAIK none of the iMacs have particularly fast disks -- you may be able
to add them externally?

I also don't think that FMS is multi-threaded, but you are likely to see
some improvement as all the OS background tasks can run on one core and
FMS on the other. Though on a dedicated server there shouldn't be too
many of these background tasks.

Not much help, sorry
Forbes
