Download MirrorSync – Download Free

MirrorSync is a comprehensive and effective piece of software aimed to help you synchronize databases between the device you are working on, with FileMaker Go, even when not online, and your server, when it finally connects to the Internet. This way, you do not have to stop working on a specific task, ensuring it your efforts will be visible on the server, eventually.

The utility needs to be installed on your server, the same machine running FileMaker Server. It goes through a quick and uneventful process, so there’s hardly any special knowledge or experience required to get the setup done successfully. It will generate a sync script that you will need to run whenever you wish to replicate any changes made on your client device.

The main window of MirrorSync is split into several sections, such as ‘Sync’, ‘Configuration’, ‘Internal’ and ‘Debugging’, each with individual roles. The first tab lets you synchronize your work with the server at the simple push of a button, as soon as the device you were working on FileMaker Pro is once again connected to the web.

The synchronization process allows you to choose a direction (‘Bidirectional Sync’ or ‘One-Way Sync’), also letting you define the ‘Primary Key Assignment Strategy’. For good measure, you have the possibility of creating a backup of your data; this ensures nothing gets lost should something go wrong.

MirrorSync enables you to update, delete or alter information in your database. You can select the fields and records you with to work with, and the primary key creation method will not be changed, as you will be able to choose between ‘Sequential’ and ‘UUID’.
