I am using Filemaker 17 pro advanced to make layout changes to a filemaker 16 pro advanced server. When opening a filemaker database remotely through show hosts, then making layout changes on the opened database: Will modifications to the layout be updated on the server without re-uploading to FileMaker server?
Yes, assuming your account gives you such access. That said, it is not recommended to do live updates on production systems.

I'm a developer who has been contracted to utilize the Filemaker API to automate some tasks on the client's website. They are using Filemaker Pro 16 and have it installed on their own machine. Is there a way for me to also install the software and use their login for development? It would be much easier than doing everything through the API.
I assume you mean the FileMaker API for PHP.
Yes, just install FileMaker Pro or preferably FileMaker Pro Advanced and get a full access or at least layout creation/edit access login to the database from your client. You need a license for FileMaker Pro or you can get a free trial to get started.
The API for PHP talks to FileMaker Server only, not FileMaker Pro. However, the layout you need for the fields for your PHP script is made using FileMaker Pro, so you’ll need it for that at least.
Is there a Tableau Desktop executable inside the Tableau server installation.
I have a system where Tableau server in Cloud and would want to use Tableau Desktop in the same server? Is that feasible?
Tableau Server and Desktop are two different products and Server does not ship with a copy of Desktop.
They can both be installed on the same windows machine, but I would never do that except for trouble-shooting reasons (ideally you should install Tableau Server on a dedicated machine so that it does not have to fight anything else for resources).
Tableau Server lets you make limited edits to existing workbooks, but you can not create new workbooks directly.
However, if you want to install Tableau Desktop separately, on the same cloud server that hosts your Tableau Server, it may (or may not) be doable depending on the specifications of the cloud server.
The major difference between Tableau desktop and Tableau Server?
At my previous organization, we always had a desktop version installed on the VM running our tableau server. This was useful for making connections to data sources that required firewall rules since the VM's IP was static. Then extracts could scheduled for refreshes.
So yes, it is feasable, but like others, it is a separate product.
Please note: make sure you understand the implications of editing an existing view.
Workbook owner, project owner or site admin may grant you rights to do the editing. However, you will be overwriting the existing workbook (you can't "save as...")
Besides, the edit function on the server is limited to visualization (sheets) and doesn't work with dashboards (to be improved in the next release, as announced)
Tableau Desktop and tableau server are two different product.
Both have their different executable files.
Desktop is created for development purposes while server is created for more sharing and authentications purposes.
You can do some edits in server, but you cannot create a new dashboard on server.
As others mentioned, Tableau Desktop and Server are separate products and have separate executable. We used to have Tableau desktop installed on Server to publish extracts and manage our extracts which were developed using API
Another thought: Tableau Server provides permissioned users with the ability to leverage Web Authoring to create/edit server content. Web authoring has the same look/feel as desktop, and has most of the features.
Many go this route as it comes with your server license, so the additional desktop purchase is not necessary.
More Info Here
In my current project both Tableau Server and Tableau Desktop are hosted on sane server. You need to analyse the data volume, traffic to workbooks to come up with right RAM size. I would recommend minimum RAM of 25GB assuming close to 20 users accessing tableau server and there is not huge volume of data refresh or connectivity
The desktop version "inside server" is to create and explore licenses. If you have one of these, you can create a sheet/dashboard using the Tableau Server through your browser.
I'm currently implementing the Class 2 WebDAV server on my company's MVC / noSQL web app. I'm developing it locally on my machine using visual studio 2013, IIS 8.5, Windows 8.1 and word 365. The documents are stored in the noSQL database.
I've managed to get it working in the past, however recently word refuses to connect to the WebDAV server. When I click the document link it open word and the following error appears:
{ correct web address} cannot connect to server.
I have used your built in logging tool and fiddler to see if any requests are made to the server and there are none.
Are there any steps or suggestion you can make to help me debug this problem.
After reading the documentation a few times and trial and error I found that word was caching in the registry. I followed the instructions and rebuilt my project and it seems to have worked.
http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/documentation/ms_office_read_only
Clear Microsoft Office WebDAV cache in registry. Microsoft Office reads WebDAV server options when connecting to server first time and stores them for later use. If your server settings has changed during development (or you just fixed some server issues) you may need to delete this settings. The Microsoft Office WebDAV cache is stored under the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Common\Internet\Server Cache\
To clear cache just delete all keys under this key. In a development environment we suggest always clearing the cache if your WebDAV server class has changed or after authentication scheme has changed. As an alternative to deleting cache, you can just reconfigure your server to run on a different port.
Note that in production environment usually you do not need to clear this cache or change port as soon as you server settings do not change often while Microsoft Office will re-request server options after some time.
As soon as your code worked in the past and now stopped working I guess that the trial period, which is 1 month, of IT Hit WebDAV Ajax Library has ended. Are there any errors in the web browser console? To start a new trial period just redownload it here.
I am using Tortoise1.6, SubversionEdge for SVN CMS and FileZilla3 (Test Server has CentOS as Server).
Let's assume the scenario:
- Test Server exists - here, developers have direct access; used for user testing
- There are 3 members in a team
- 2 of the members are developing on their local machine using TortoiseSVN
- But 1 wants to develop directly on the Test Server
--> The issue on developing directly on the Test Server are:
1.) No TortoiseSVN installed
2.) Even if SVN exist in TestServer, command scripts are tedious since it is running on CentOS (no GUI)
This issue can be resolved with team management, but the challenging part in here is how to address the technical issue (as this is maybe a future need).
QUESTION
So, my question is - is there a way to integrate TortoiseSVN on FileZilla?
Or a way that after committing changes on the working copy, files in the Test Server are also updated?
If you were on my situation, how would you address such issue aside from just team mgt/agreement?
Tortoisesvn is an explorer shell-extension. It doesn't know how to access Filezilla's functions to access the files on the ftp server.
What you can do is using a smb-share over a vpn-network. TortoiseSVN ist then able to directly see the files and display them correctly in explorer - although this solution may be quite slow depending on your network-connection.
However, what I usually do is developing locally, connect via ssh to the server and then use the svn cmd-line utility to do updates.
I'm trying to get PHP Web Publishing working with FMS 11.0.2.217 on Windows 7 and apache server. I've clicked the link on Filemaker Server Admin Console for PHP. The Filemaker PHP Site Assistant launches, I select Create New Site and enter Test as name and enter server ip and click connect. I receive the following error:
"Publishing engine is not running on the specified server"
Also in the FileMaker Server Admin Console >General Settings it does not hold the "Automatically start web publishing engine" check box after I click it and save. It does accept and hold "Automatically start Database Server"
What am I doing wrong?
Go to this URL in a browser like FireFox that supports XML rendering:
http://yourServerAddress/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-dbnames
You should get an XML listing of all of the databases on your server. If you get something else, then your Web Publishing Engine is not installed correctly, or is not running. In that case, I would recommend uninstalling and re-installing the Web Publishing Engine, or call FileMaker tech support.
Also be well aware that FMS does NOT support Apache on Windows.
Just a word of warning with FileMaker server / PHP -- ensure that your web application isn't high concurrent volume or you're going to have problems.
FileMaker Server has a very limited number of concurrent connections and the timeout value on requests makes using FileMaker Server problematic if you have a large number of concurrent sessions.
