Using JDBC to share FileMaker data 33
Verifying access via JDBC
When verifying access to a FileMaker database file via JDBC, make sure:
1 The FileMaker database file is hosted and available.
1 Your FileMaker account uses a privilege set with the extended privilege of Access via ODBC/JDBC.
1 The FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server Advanced host application has been set up for sharing via
ODBC/JDBC.
To share a FileMaker database file as a data source, use FileMaker Pro to define accounts that need
access to the database file. Then, control access to the database file by assigning privilege sets to the
accounts, including the extended privilege of access via ODBC/JDBC. Finally, enable the
FileMaker
Server Advanced or FileMaker Pro host application to share data via ODBC/JDBC. For
details, see FileMaker Pro Help.
1 The JDBC client driver registration and the JDBC URL are correct (the driver can be included inside the
Java Application or located on the client machine).
