In addition, there's no guarantee you won't have to recover a file or revert to a backup, it just should be less common. It's main objective is to get your file open and working again as quickly as possible so it's still possible to lose data or schema. It's also possible, it may restore a portion of an action such as a Replace Field Contents or a Delete All Records. Startup Restoration may restore data that would have normally been lost in previous versions of FileMaker. In other words, the consistency check just detects issues while Startup Restoration attempts to return the file to a consistent state as if the database had been shut down gracefully. If you've ever restarted a solution that crashed, the consistency check can take a long time to go through your file(s), but doesn't try to fix your file if there are any problems. I quote the word "recover" because it doesn't necessarily mean your file is damaged. If your solution unexpectedly shuts down, FileMaker Server uses this log to "recover" your solution. All changes are tracked including data and schema. The basic idea is FileMaker Server 18 logs any changes to a database in real time.

If the record is not locked, this script will lock it until the Guest exits the record manually or the Commit Record/Request script step is intiated. If the record is locked, an error of 301 will be returned. ![]() FileMaker 7 introduces the Open Record/Request script step which attempts to lock a record without modifying it. You don't want to test if the record is locked by setting a field to a value. However, the most important change is when scripting for record locking. In order for a guest on the network to lock a record, he must actually modify a field, allowing user to work with a record without locking it. FileMaker 7 has changed how record locking works. Unfortunately, this also prevented other guests from copying data from a locked record and other basic features. That's was all that was required to prevent others from changing the record.
