Running 4D v15 from a Windows server resource

2017-08-24 Thread David Garrard via 4D_Tech
In a departmental environment, a client wishes to place the 4D v15 standalone executable on a network server and allow users to launch from there in "Connect to mode" and connect to a 4D Server v15. Is this advisable? Would there be issues with the client distributed resources? Thanks,

Also, there seems to be some known issues with Wireless and KB4034681... The KB article says: "NPS authentication may break, and wireless clients may fail to connect." There is a workaround for the NPS issue on the KB article. See also: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/6u3gi3/careful_w

Hi David, 4D 15.2 was released April 12th 2016 kb4034681 was released August 8th 2017 Maybe you could try a newer build of 4D? Perhaps the latest nightly build of v15 (August 22nd 2017) Or at least 15.4HF3 (July 6th 2017) -Tim **

I just made a very interesting discovery and thought I'd share it with the group -- it's timely given the recent blog post by 4D about dashboards. We're huge fans of dashboards here at Sweetwater, and our dashboard tool of choice is Prometheus. We use this on all our major servers -- Exchange,

Jeff: We love dashboards too. At Jonoke we had a dashboard that would display information on all our client’s servers, and various ‘Butlers’. This way we were often notified before they called of an issue. Collecting the stats also helps to uncover issues. They take time to write, but they prov

Jeff, Yes, that is what I was thinking made the most sense based upon your explanation. It sure seems like the call is blocking, and stopping all other processing on the Server. At the very least, it is consuming most of the processing power. Can this be done from a Client instead? On a sid

I have noticed similar issues when using 4D fn calls from single user to 4D. when testing with light load not problem and it appears it is not a synchronous call but under any regular to heavy load, it appears synchronous. Indeed at 2 or 3 summits again Neil Dennis and I had this discussion. He wro

Jeff, We have experienced a similar type of situation when using 4D SQL (to extract data from a MS SQL server). As best we can tell, the SQL call is blocking, locking out all other processing. Were you running this from the Server, or a Client? Steve
