Hi and Happy New Year to everyone.
I run FMP 19.4.2 on a MacbookPro with M1 Pro MacOS Monterey 12.0.1. I open files located on an FMS Server. When the Macbook goes out from sleep, way too often either FMP crashes or can't reconnect. The duration of the sleep does not seem to be in relation with the issue. I thought that was a thing of the past and that now FMP reconnection was smooth.
Am I alone with this issue ?
Many thanks
Update to 12.1, if possible.
12.1 ??? The Mac never told me 12.1 was released. Now that I checked, it's in System Preferences.
Thanks for the tip, I will install 12.1 and post back.
I've found every version i've used of FMP disconnects me if the computer goes to sleep. Thats why I use Amphetamine (app store link) to keep my computer awake when doing FMP development.
FMP 19.4.2 and Monterey 12.1 same problem.
This seems to be an inconsistent problem.
I normally have not problem reconnecting when my computer goes to sleep. I currently use FMP 19.3.2 and Mac OS X 11.6.1, however this behaviour has been consistent for a while now.
From time to time, however, things don't work out. I have yet to see a pattern short of the VPN crapping out. Just to be clear, reconnection issues happen from time to time even when a VPN is not at issue.
Never had fmp crash on wake but I’m not on an M1.
Remote DBs are disconnected unless you wake the machine within the timeframe fmp has set for keeping connections alive. That is only a few minutes. Local DBs reconnect every time.
.. unfortunately I have daily crashes of FM19.4.2 on Big Sur and Intel i7 independent of sleeping mostly when debugging through long scripts ..
Before running longer scripts, I execute ´caffeinate &‘ in the shell, which prevents the Mac from going into deep sleep mode.
I have the hot corners configured, top left is never sleep. I simply push the cursor into that corner. Or push it to the server with PSOS.
Could you post a link to the crash report to read it as text?
if you like your FileMaker solution to prevent sleep, check the ProcessActivity.beginActivity function in MBS FileMaker Plugin.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of a crash report, well maybe it's siting there on the disk. Crashes were infrequent, what I got most was that FMP couldn't reconnect the file. Yesterday night I applied 12.1 and I haven't yet got an error reconnecting: I am asked to provide the credentials again and tha works. So far so good !
To find crash reports on Monterey:
Crashing deep in the FileMaker / Draco engine, something to do with value lists and a popup menu it appears.
I would suspect either (A) a corrupted database file, or (B) a bug. Either way, you should probably report this to Claris if you can reproduce it.

Can you run FileMaker in Rosetta instead of M1/ARM mode? I wonder if this is a bug only seen on M1?
(Right-click FileMaker app, choose Get Info, and "Open Using Rosetta")
I also started using the Amphetamine app. It does a good job of keeping the computer awake so that it does not loose connection if I'm away from the computer too long..
Situation for the last three days, after update to Monterey 12.1:
Looks like Monterey 12.1 is much better.
