In some cases, hardware will need to be upgraded and other applications and integrations may need to be upgraded in parallel.
However, it can still require a significant amount of time and effort to install upgrades on servers, workstations, and devices. Most of the organizations we work with are on annual license plans, so when a new version is released, there’s rarely an issue with needing to buy an upgrade. In any case, we recommend that you have a plan so that you can take advantage of new features that are important to you while also avoiding unplanned costs and downtime.
Most fall somewhere between these extremes.
Others prefer to wait as long as possible and only upgrade when forced to do so due to a compatibility issue with their computers, operating systems, or other applications.

For example, if you have created an AppleScript applet with sub-routines, you can call the handlers using the Perform AppleScript command, like this:
FileMaker Pro Advanced can use the Perform AppleScript script step to send Apple events to itself or to FileMaker Pro Advanced software running on other machines.(An error code is generated, which can be captured with the Get(LastError) function.) Tips on usage Because AppleScript is a macOS feature, if you run a script containing a Perform AppleScript script step on a Windows computer, the script step is ignored.(The script is recompiled whenever it's edited.) Notes If you type the script into the Native AppleScript text area, then FileMaker Pro Advanced compiles the script and detects any scripting or system errors. You can create a calculation to generate the AppleScript commands to be sent, or you can type the commands directly into the Native AppleScript text area.įor calculated scripts and scripts stored in FileMaker Pro Advanced fields, the AppleScript commands are compiled each time the script is performed.
