Vince Menanno from Beezwax presents at FMDiSC (FileMaker Developers in Southern California).
You may have read on Claris’s blog that “Developers are excited to use Claris FileMaker 19.6!” As Vince Menanno from Beezwax said in an interview for that blog post:
“This FileMaker release is significant. There’s a possibility to make solutions run faster if you’re leveraging transactions, and for code to be more concise.”
– Vincenzo Menanno, Beezwax
So, let’s talk about Claris® FileMaker® and script transactions in FileMaker 19.6!

Transacting Transactions in Claris FileMaker
Event link: https://www.meetup.com/fmdisc-filemaker-developers-in-southern-california/events/290746664/
Speaker: Vincenzo Menanno, Chief Innovation Officer, Beezwax Datatools
Date: Friday, January 13, 2023
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT
Summary: With the latest release of the Claris FileMaker Platform, we now have native script transaction support. We always had the ability to roll our own transactions, and it had a unique and particular way of working with the need to use dedicated relationships. The new script steps promise a whole new way of architecting solutions transactionally.
This talk focuses on the reasons one would want to embrace script transactions, how they work, and a look at the performance consideration, especially for solutions over a WAN. This next chapter of the Claris FileMaker Platform will usher in a new set of possibilities, in how solutions are architected by simplifying and reducing the code needed to implement transactions while providing possibilities to enhance performance.
