Rudy,
Re: My customers run on Citrix on a daily basis.
Do you manage that or is the Citrix part managed by the customers IT?
Re: No such errors, ever.
Do you run the Citrix server and the 4D server on the same LAN? I have
proposed two solutions to the IT company but they have declined to follow
through on either.
1 - They build a server in their own data centre to host the 4D database so
they can have the server on the same LAN as the Citrix servers. We would
rather have a happy customer than the small amount of revenue we generate from
the rented server.
2 - We create a VPN between our networks to try and improve network stability.
We have a CISCO ASA5515 that all traffic goes through.
Re: Regarding the error message, it may be of help to let the Citrix people
know that 4D is using multiple ports: by default 19812 and 19813, and then
19815 or so for SQL server. You can see on 4D server which ports are actually
being used, and you can set them to other values.
They have all port information. We do use different port assignments from the
IANA defined ports as from time to time they run more than one database on the
same server, but that works for many other far more saturated servers. Our
server is dedicated too running 4D but we have no clue what they run on their
Citrix servers.
I was thinking of setting up an alternative Citrix solution so we could gain
some experience with it, do some testing and advise but I have always believed
Citrix is quite an expensive setup.
Re: Just curious: how fast (or slow) is the direct client connection in
comparison to the Citrix 4D client connection?
Where clients have a leased line the difference is negligible with great
stability. Where clients use ADSL the connection is mostly acceptable although
occasional dropouts can occur.
Any other experiences from yourself or anyone else would be welcome.
Regards, Dougie
