Job Description:

The Agency has an on-premise installation of Claris FileMaker Server v13 software. The Agency needs to recover administrative-level user access to this software and then port the database running on it to FileMaker Cloud. This project would occur in three successive phases.

  • In Phase 1 of the project, project staff will recover administrative-level user access to FileMaker Server v13. Project staff will then create new administrative-level user access credentials for the Agency. Finally, project staff will create two (2) backups of the database running on the FileMaker Server software.
  • In Phase 2 of the project, project staff will create a new database for the Agency on the FileMaker Cloud platform. This database will be identical to the structure (schema) of the Agency s existing on-premise FileMaker database.
  • In Phase 3 of the project, project staff will upload a copy of the Agency s on-premise FileMaker database to the new FileMaker Cloud database created in Phase 2. Project staff will then verify the success of the database transfer to the cloud via a series of verification checks.

Scope

  • Phase 1: Recover Admin-Level Access to FileMaker Server

Project staff will gain administrative-level user access to the Agency s on-premise instance FileMaker Server v13 and create a new set of administrative-level access credentials for the Agency. Project staff will then create two local backups of the Agency s FileMaker database.

  • Recover administrative-level user access to FileMaker Server v13.
  • Create one (1) set of administrative-level user access credentials to FileMaker Server.
  • Create two (2) backups of the database running on FileMaker Server.
  • Phase 2: Create New Database in FileMaker Cloud Identical in Structure to Existing On-Premise Database

Project staff will create a new (unpopulated) database on the FileMaker Cloud platform that duplicates the structure (schema) of the Agency s existing on-premise FileMaker database.

  • Create new database on FileMaker Cloud duplicating the existing on-premise database structure and function.
  • Phase 3: Transfer a Copy of the On-Premise FileMaker Database to FileMaker Cloud

Project staff will upload a copy of the Agency s on-premise FileMaker database to the new FileMaker Cloud database created in Phase 2. Using the existing on-premise database as a reference, project staff will then verify that the new cloud database is accurately populated and fully functional.

  • Verify readiness of on-premise FileMaker database copy for upload to FileMaker Cloud.

Required Skill

Experience recovering FileMaker Server access, experience working with FileMaker Server and FileMaker Cloud, and experience transferring on-prem FileMaker databases to FileMaker Cloud.
