The Database Administrator will recover access to FileMaker Server, create a new cloud database, and transfer existing data to FileMaker Cloud, ensuring functionality and accuracy of all records.
Job Title: Database Administrator (Remote)
Location: Austin, TX
Duration: 12 Months
Job Description:
The Individual shall have experience in recovering administrative access to FileMaker Server v13 or a similar on-premise FileMaker Server version, experience in preparing and successfully transferring an on-premise FileMaker database to FileMaker Cloud, and experience in working with the Claris cloud platform.
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. Project staff will then create two local backups of the Agency’s FileMaker database.
Create New Database in FileMaker Cloud Identical in Structure to Existing On-Premise Database
Project staff will create a new (unpopulated) database on the FileMaker Cloud platform that duplicates the structure (schema) of the Agency’s existing on-premise FileMaker database.
Transfer a Copy of the On-Premise FileMaker Database to FileMaker Cloud
Project staff will upload a copy of the Agency’s on-premise FileMaker database to the new FileMaker Cloud database created in Phase 2. Using the existing on-premise database as a reference, project staff will then verify that the new cloud database is accurately populated and fully functional.
Note: Task 3.3.3 may be adjusted to uploading a sample of individual records should no backup copy of the Agency’s entire database be successfully created during Phase 1. A modified version of Task 3.3.4 would then follow. The Agency and project staff will mutually agree upon a revised sample size for Task 3.3 and verification process for Task 3.4 if Phase 1 work cannot be completed.
