Login

The fmcloud.fm Admin Console is avaiable here.

The credentials are the one that we sent you when your server was deployed.

If you use a custom domain, you can use it as the server location as well as the fmcloud.fm subdomain.

Dashboard

The dashboard lets you see general information such as

• the server version
• the number of hosted databases and opened databases
• the number of current connections by gateway
• the percentage of storage and memory currently used
• the status of the main connectors (Web Direct, XML, Data API, ODBC, OData)

You can also perform the following actions:

• Open the native admin console (bottom left)
• Enable / disable a connector (using the switches on the right)
• Restart the whole server (red button, bottom right)

• Or restart a specific service:

• Web Publishing Engine (WPE): this service is the “parent” of both Web Direct and XML (Custom Web Publishing). If you experience slowdowns after an intensive usage of Web Direct, restarting the WPE can resolve issues.
• Script Engine (fmse): this one is responsible for the execution of Perform Script on Server (PSoS) as well as SASE (Scheduled scripts defined using the native Admin Console). A PSoS script step will return error code 812 if fmse is down.
• Admin Server: This one does not have an impact on the database operations, but is responsible for the information displayed in the Admin Console. Sometimes the Admin Console (the native one as well as this one) goes crazy and displays inaccurate information, or is unable to open a database for instance. Just restart the Admin Server and everything should be fine again, without disconnecting the users.
• Restart the http server alone. This includes the php server if you are with the Pro plan.

The databases pane allows you to

• View a list of databases ordered by folders and subfolders, all collapsible

You can also perform actions on the databases (most of them require that the database is closed)

• Open

• Move (yes!)
• Rename (yes!)
