This will be the case with for example the functions TrFile_AppendContents, TrFile_CopyFile or TrFile_DeleteFile. This means that you can get the $$-5000 error with any step or function that modifies that folder or file. The error will only occur if you try to change in a folder or file protected by SIP. However when you try to run this script on Mojave you will get an error: $ErrorCode will be $$-5000. The reason for this error is that the System Integrity Protection feature, usually referred to as SIP, prevents access to more folders than before. System Integrity Protection is a security feature built into the macOS operating system that’s designed to protect system locations and processes from being written to, modified, or replaced.įor example, if you want your script to write in to a folder of Mail in the users Library, this script would work before Mojave and return without an error (error code zero): Set Variable System Integrity Protection may cause the $$-5000 error But these steps can also fix it for later macOS version like macOS 10.15 (Catalina). Note the steps below are shown with macOS 10.14 (Mojave). You can get this error on Mojave for example when you use the TrFile_CreateFile function. Some FileMaker script steps that worked before, will now return error code $$-5000, which is error afpAccessDenied (User does not have the correct access to the file). With macOS 10.14 Mojave Apple added new (and more strict) security measures, which may cause some functions of the Troi File Plug-in to return an error.
