In Otto FMS, is it possible to schedule updates for multiple clients simultaneously?
Currently, the process requires going through each client individually, selecting files, adjusting settings, and setting a schedule. This becomes time consuming when managing multiple deployments.
Is there a way to batch schedule updates or apply a single update configuration across multiple clients/files at once (e.g., via groups, scripts, or API)?
Hey @Alaleh ,
There is no way in the UI to send one deployment configuration to multiple servers. We are planning on adding this feature, but unfortunately a number of other priorities have taken precendent.
Via the API you can send off multiple at once simply by building your deployment JSOn ahead of time and sending the requests at the same time. Presumably you could set up a FileMaker file (or a script in another scripting language) that has your list of destination servers, the deployment JSON for each deployment (or one JSON that is dynamic if you are using the same one), and the credentials. Then its just a HTTP POST request to your server to kick off each deployment. Check out the docs for setting up a process with FileMaker and the video from Todd for more details on this.
Does that answer your question?
