Flushing hosted files

Flushing a database syncs the temporary database storage to the permanent database state, making both the temporary data and the permanent data the same.

To flush a single database:

  1. Click the Databases page.

  2. Select an Open (status open) database.

  3. Click action arrow and choose Flush.

To flush all databases:

  1. Click the Databases page.

  2. For All Databases, click action arrow and choose Flush All.

Notes 

  • FileMaker Cloud logs a message in Event.log, indicating the success or failure of the flush activity.

  • The amount of time needed to flush databases can vary significantly depending on factors such as server hardware, the number of databases, and the size of databases.
