Hey all, This is a question which should have a fairly obvious answer, however I require confirmation from external sources regarding this specific situation.
Previously we had an OS X fileserver for all the macs to access their data. (shared via AFP). Within one of the specific group folders lies a bunch of Filemaker Pro 6 and 8 databases. These databases are all interlinked within various folder and subfolders, spread all throughout the hierarchy of this specific group folder. Recently we migrated all the Mac data onto a Windows File Server (for centralized storage). The mac data is being shared via AFP using Extreme Z IP. In migrating the data, it seems that the "relationships" between the filemaker pro 6 files were lost, and therefore these files needed to be re-linked manually. I believe this is because filemaker pro 6 used hard links for relationships, as opposed to filemaker pro 8 which uses relative paths (?). What I would like to find out is if there is an easy or quick way to re-link all the filemaker pro 6 files, when migrating the data from one file server to another, or whether the only option is to manually re-define the broken relationships? And if we were to migrate this data again to a different server in the future, and they weren't upgraded to version 8, are we likely to face this issue again? ______________________________________________ Alexia Langley Senior Mac Support Officer Institute for Child Health Research (Company Limited by Guarantee ACN 009 278 755) Subiaco, Western Australia, 6008 Ph 61 8 9489 7971, Fax 61 8 9489 7700 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ##################################################################################### -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
