Title: Database Administrator Location: Austin, TX
Job Description Introduction: The Agency has anon-premise installation of Claris FileMaker Server v13 software. The Agency needs to recover administrative-level user access to this software and then port the database running on it to FileMaker Cloud. This project would occur in three successive phases.
In Phase 1 of the project, project staff will recover administrative-level user access to FileMaker Server v13. Project staff will then create new administrative-level user access credentials for the Agency. Finally, project staff will create two (2) backups of the database running on the FileMaker Server software.
In Phase 2 of the project, project staff will create a new database for the Agency on the FileMaker Cloud platform. This database will be identical to the structure (schema) of the Agency's existing on-premise FileMaker database.
In Phase 3 of the project, project staff will upload a copy of the Agency's on-premise FileMaker database to the new FileMaker Cloud database created in Phase 2. Project staff will then verify the success of the database transfer to the cloud via a series of verification checks.
Background The Agency desires to modernize its database infrastructure by moving to FileMaker Cloud. To do this, the Agency needs project staff to access its instance of FileMaker Server v13 and backup the database running on it, create a new instance of its database on the FileMaker Cloud platform, and then transfer a copy of its existing on-premise FileMaker database to FileMaker Cloud.
The Agency's existing on-premise database has approximately 7,300 records. Each record has the same forty-five (45) fields:
25 Text fields
9 Number fields
4 Date fields
4 Calculation fields
3 Summary fields
The database does not appear to have any container fields. The Agency already has a subscription to FileMaker Cloud.
Scope of Work Phase 1: Recover Admin-Level Access to FileMaker Server Project staff will gain administrative-level user access to the Agency's on-premise instance FileMaker Server v13 and create a new set of administrative-level access credentials for the Agency.
