Today, we have part 2 of our content series on Machine Learning in FileMaker using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
We are highlighting how to detect text and faces found within an image in this video.
This can be useful for FileMaker databases that need to be able to identify objects and characteristics within an image file and report on the findings within the solution.
Say goodbye to the complexities of the separation model, skip the tedious data imports, and stop risking data loss.
Deploy FileMaker changes from dev to prod by clicking one button.
360Deploy makes it a simple operation for you to roll out updated database versions to FileMaker Server: yours, your clients, or your vertical market customers!
360Works SafetyNet is your low cost FileMaker offsite backup solution. Now you can rest easy, knowing that your essential FileMaker databases are backed up online with secure and easy retrieval at any time.
This video will demonstrate a sync configuration between FileMaker Server and a MySQL database which will allow you to build FileMaker Web Apps prepared for high traffic.
Along with the use case presented in this video, MirrorSync can sync FileMaker to just about ANYTHING and it is an excellent way to use FileMaker offline, then sync to FileMaker Server when you have network access again. You can view further documentation on MirrorSync here: http://docs.360works.com/index.php/MirrorSync_6
More About This Video: FileMaker is the best tool for rapid application development, but it is not the most reliable or scalable option for high traffic web sites. MySQL provides that reliability and scalability, but can’t compare to FileMaker for development productivity and user friendliness.
360Works MirrorSync bridges this gap, letting you use each tool for its best purpose. Quickly create layouts, scripts, and schema in FileMaker Pro, test and refine them, then use MirrorSync to publish all your record data to MySQL and keep both databases in sync moving forward. You can use industry-standard tools and frameworks (or hire from a vast talent pool) to create highly reliable and scalable web apps.
In the event that FileMaker Server is down or rebooted for any reason (such as software upgrades), your MySQL web app will continue running and serving users. MirrorSync will detect when FileMaker Server comes back online and bring both databases back in sync.
This video, narrated by Junior Perez of 360Works, takes you on a step-by-step walk-through of how to sync between FileMaker Server and MySQL.
Junior demonstrates how to start with a completely empty MySQL Server, create the database and tables, and set up an auto-scheduled sync to run every 60 seconds.
The process is the same for any other JDBC-compatible database such as SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
The license price for syncing one FileMaker Server with any one of these databases is $1,800, with discounts available for educational and non-profit organizations.

FileMaker Migration Assistant Tool vs. Manual: Best Practices to Migrate Changes to a Live FileMaker Server
Tips from 360Works Senior Developer and Product Manager, Joe Martin
We are writing this article to share approaches to upgrading, modifying, or making changes to a production FileMaker file on FileMaker Server.
In the past, FileMaker developers haven't had many options for rolling out new changes to their live databases.
Even if you were cautious, and did your development in a separate Dev copy of your production file, it was difficult to migrate these changes to your production file.
You could roll your own deployment workflow, scripting FileMaker imports for each table in your solution, and update this workflow whenever you added new tables or fields.
Use Scribe to automate processing of Microsoft Office and PDF files.
Populate forms, insert images, highlight changes between versions of documents, manipulate Microsoft Word and Excel tables, retrieve metadata form Excel table cells, secure PDF files.
We get excited about adding innovation to the FileMaker platform! Today we are showing you how to use machine learning in FileMaker to detect objects, scenes, and images.
This can be useful for FileMaker databases that need to be able to identify objects and characteristics within an image file and report on the findings within the solution.
