January 16th, 2006, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi Activator Plug-in 2.0.1 for FileMaker Pro 8. What is the Activator Plug-in? The Activator Plug-in is a very powerful tool for triggering scripts across the network, even over the Internet. All from within FileMaker you can: trigger a FileMaker script on a different client computer trigger a FileMaker script over the Internet run a script and send data to a different FileMaker application, all in the background use the built-in security to prevent unauthorized triggering send a number (e.g. a record ID) and a long text with the trigger start and stop listening for remote trigger messages with one script step Apart from remote triggering you can also trigger scripts on the same computer: trigger a script on a specified date and time schedule events which trigger any script you want trigger a script after exiting a field validate fields with a custom script suited to your specific validation needs Peter Baanen, company president, states: "Finally we have a FileMaker Pro 8 version of our versatile script trigger plug-in. As it is a FileMaker 7 native plug-in, it can also run with FileMaker Pro 7." New Features Troi Activator Plug-in 2.0.1 adds these new functions and features: The plug-in is completely rewritten for FileMaker 7 and 8. It has been converted to the external function API of FileMaker Pro 7. All functions now support Unicode characters. The plug-in uses the built-in triggering of the new FileMaker API, making it more robust. You can specify data to be returned as the script parameter of a script.  The changes since the public beta are: The Background Runtime Solution is now available, for both Mac OS X and Windows. The example files are improved. A few bugs are fixed. Suggested Uses The Activator allows you to: create a real-time appointment solution, where you can notify a colleague (on a different computer) of changes in his/her appointments notify a user that a shared document can be used process data in the background in a different FileMaker application get someone out of a record, so that it is no longer locked All these features also work in a runtime solution and between different versions of FileMaker Pro.
