Zulu is an extension for FileMaker Server which runs as a standalone server application alongside FileMaker Server and lets Apple Calendar (and compatible clients) see your FileMaker table(s) as native calendars. You can manipulate your records in Calendar and when you do, you’re manipulating the FileMaker records directly: Calendar will even respect FileMaker’s record level access privileges and record locking so you can filter records based on privilege set and if someone else is editing an event when you try to do the same.

Visit the Zulu site to learn, download a demo, or purchase Zulu for your FileMaker Server.

Troubleshooting

Events aren't syncing anymore

If you have Zulu set to Auto-Sync, error messages won't show up in the Admin Console. First step is to turn off Auto-Sync and then run a Manual Sync. You will then see the error the sync is encountering displayed. That will give you a bit more to work with when diagnosing the problem.

If you recently changed a field name or other detail on your layout and republished your calendars - be sure to update the sync configuration on any associated calendar in the Sync Admin utility. To update it, just click "Edit" and step through the configuration and verify each detail.

Common Errors

Requested minimum modification lies too far In the past

This error message occurs when too much time has past since your last sync, the only way to resolve this is to delete your sync data, then perform another initial sync. Instructions to do so can be found here: Reset Sync Data

Installer Hangs

If the Zulu installer hangs during installation, please force quit the installer and then follow the instructions below to recover. This typically occurs when you've had a previous install go bad for whatever reason and the 360Works service is in a bad state.

Mac
  1. Launch the Terminal and run the following commands:
    1. cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
    2. sudo launchctl unload com.prosc.TomcatDaemon.plist
  2. Now download a fresh copy of Zulu and rerun the installer.
Windows
  1. Open the Services application
    • You can launch it by searching "Services" in the start menu or launching the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and going to the "Services" tab.
  2. Find the "360Works" service
  3. Right click it and click "Stop"
  4. Now download a fresh copy of Zulu and rerun the installer.

Important: Hosting Provider Installation

A hosting provider installation customizes the URL startpoint of your installation. On a default installation your local URL will look like "127.0.0.1/zulu", but a hosting provider installation allows you to customize the start point. For example, you could set it to "127.0.0.1/360WorksEventsCalendar". This feature also allows you to run multiple installations side by side. During the install this is set by the "application name" popup.

If you choose to do a hosting provider installation, please keep in mind you will need to customize your publish script in FileMaker to include this new URL startpoint. In Zulu 2.07 and earlier, please follow these instructions. For Zulu 2.08 and later, you can customize the startpoint by modifying the "$ZuluApplicationName" variable in the publish script.
