Step 7. Move files to the proper location
Move the script files and plug-ins you used with the previous version of FileMaker Server to the proper
folders within the FileMaker Server 11 folder structure. See “Step 4. Make a copy of databases, scripts, and
plug-ins” on page 57.
Note You can use the Upload Database assistant to transfer your existing databases to your new FileMaker
Server deployment. See “Uploading a database” on page 50. To transfer your database files manually, see
FileMaker Server Help.
Important If you are using FileMaker Server 11 and you want to transfer settings by loading the Schedules
and Groups settings file, make sure you have created a folder structure in the new FileMaker Server
installation that is identical to the source server installation. Copy the databases, scripts, and other solution
files from the source installation to the new FileMaker Server installation, and set the appropriate
permissions on Mac OS. For more information, see FileMaker Server Help.
Step 8. Load your schedules and administrator groups
Note This step applies to FileMaker Server 11 only.
If you are using FileMaker Server 11, you can load the Schedules and Groups settings file you saved earlier.
See “Step 1. Save your schedules and administrator groups” on page 55.
Important Whenever you load a Schedules and Groups settings file, all existing schedules and administrator
groups settings in the new FileMaker Server installation are deleted and replaced by the settings in the
Schedules and Groups settings file. You cannot merge the schedules and administrator groups settings from
multiple FileMaker Servers.
1. In Admin Console for the new FileMaker Server 11 installation, choose Server menu > Load Schedules
and Groups.
2. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where you saved the Schedules and Groups settings file. The
default filename is fms11_settings.xml, unless you changed the filename using your operating system tools.
3. Select the Schedules and Groups settings file and click Open.
4. Click Load to load the Schedules and Groups settings file into FileMaker Server.
5. Click Yes to replace all of the existing schedules and administrator groups in the new FileMaker Server
installation with the schedules and administrator groups from the source installation.
6. Do one of the following:
1
If the Load Successful dialog box appears, no errors occurred and you can click OK.
1
If the Load Schedules and Groups Results dialog box appears, note the errors that occurred so that you
can make the necessary corrections, and then click OK.
