Re: subtables issue

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

unless you were specifically asked to convert subtables,
I think it would be best to not care about them and focus on converting 
pictures.

as long as you keep the virtual subtable structure "as is" and never touch them,
your subtable commands will continue to work in your methods
and your list sub-tables will continue to display your sub-selections in your 
forms.
(just make sure the data source table actually references your sub-table 
fields, not the real tables).

transition from sub-tables to related tables take a lot of commitment,
to replace commands one by one and modify forms one by one,
and to finally "cut" the virtual subform link which is an irreversible 
procedure.

the best outcome would be for you to end up where you started except you are 
using regular tables.
the would be no practical value for the end user (other than may SQL 
connectivity to sub records import/export).

you are already on v17,
so the debate should be whether to stick with subtables or reengineer the whole 
thing using ORDA.

I have a situation I have not encountered and am stumped. I have been asked by 
a person to upgrade pictures in a v17 db. When I open the structure, I still 
see subtables there. I also see the tables that have been created as part of

to do now.

Re: Who’s the Gestapo?

[John Baughman via 4D_Tech]

“They were never able to post”... what does that even mean? Taken literally l 
am assuming that they sent a message to the list and never saw their post on 
the list. Did they try more than once. Did someone from 4D tell them they had 
been censored? Did they ask for assistance? Based on your message I don’t think 
any of this occurred. 

Someone tried to post and failed. Then they, including you, took one huge leap 
to censorship. 

Instead of posting an unsubstantiated assumption why not help them get on the 
list.

Unless you personally observed what you are assuming happened, it is very 
possible they told you they tried but in fact did not.

Re: subtables issue

[Jeremy French via 4D_Tech]

Hi Chuck,

In answer to your several questions:


> ...When I open the structure, I still see subtables there. I also see the 
> tables that have been created as part of conversion. What gives? The new 
> tables appear to be there.

I believe 4D deprecated subtables starting with v11.

When converting from a pre-v11 version with subtables, 4D automatically creates 
a regular table in place of each subtable.

When creating the new regular table to replace the subtable, 4D's naming 
convention is “_”. Note the underscore 
character, separating the names of the parent table and subtable field.

All data from the original subtable is now located in the new regular table.


> I am not sure what to do now.

Complete the subtable conversion by replacing all obsolete subtable commands.

The value in the parent’s subtable field “History Detail" and converted 
subtable field “id_added_by_converter” are the same. That’s a unique Longint 
value that relates parent to its subtable data. 

Beware — you need to use the command “Get subrecord key” to access the parent’s 
subtable field’s value. I’m talking about the field "[Contract]History Detail”. 
That field is now a Longint, even though the structure editor shows “Subtable”. 
It’s value is how you will locate the “subrecords" which are now records in a 
regular table.

Subtable behavior will continue, as long as you don’t make any structure 
modifications to the original subtable field (in the parent table) and the 
“id_added_by_converter” field (in subtable that’s been converted to a regular 
table.)

You should replace all subtable commands (which are obsolete) and replace them 
with “regular” table commands.

I believe the command “Get subrecord key” will help navigate the relations 
until you complete the switch from subtable commands to regular table commands.

See: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17/Get-subrecord-key.301-3730628.en.html


> 
> For example I have a table named
> Contract with a subtable named History Detail
> 
> I also have a table named Contract_History Detail which has field named 
> id_added_by_converter.

The original subtable field “History Detail” is in the parent table “Contract”. 
That field’s type should appear as “Subtable”. Use the command “Get subrecord 
key” to access (or view) the “History Detail” field’s value, which is a longint.

All the subfield’s data has been moved to the new “Contract_History Detail” 
table. That’s the table with the field “id_added_by_converter”.

The subfield “History Detail” and the field “id_added_by_converter” in the new 
table “Contract_History Detail” form the relation between the data in the 
parent table (Contract) and the subtable’s data (Contract_History Detail).


> Can I just change type. why would I still be seeing this subtable the id 
> points back to the field in the Contract table

No, changing the field type will end the automatic subtable behavior. Wait 
until you complete the subtable conversion by replacing the obsolete subtable 
commands. Then decide how you would like to relate the records.

The subtable id that points back to the field in the Contract table preserves 
the relation between the parent record (Contract) and its subtable now located 
in a regular table (Contract_History Detail). They contain the same Longint 
value.

At the moment, the data value that binds the subtable records to the parent 
table is: the parent’s subtable field (“History Detail”) and the 
“id_added_by_converter” field in the new regular table “Contract_History 
Detail”. Both are Longints.

See: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17/Subrecords.201-3729374.en.html

Does this info help?

Re: What do you use to monitor your offsite servers?

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

Good suggestions guys. I really appreciate it. Many things I've been
looking at already. I use TeamViewer quite a lot to help people with
'stuff'. Usually 'Here, let me google that for you' but it's also good when
someone is saying, "4D just isn't working right..." and I want to see what
they are actually doing vs. what they say is happening.

I should have mentioned, because not everyone knows me, that I really want
a mac to windows solution if possible. TeamViewer would be a good choice
though in this particular case it would actually increase our annual cost
though it would offer a lot more usefulness much of which I wouldn't
actually use.

SplashTop has a great website and looks like the leading contender at the
moment. Can anyone speak to using it from a Mac to Windows?

I use DropBox for moving files to and fro as well so doing that in session
isn't so much of a deal.

Re: What do you use to monitor your offsite servers?

[Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech]

Looking at the responses you’re getting makes me wonder about the use case.

I liked Join.Me for remote support. It was easy to get remote users online 
pretty easily (assuming they had permission to install software). That scenario 
was “Ben is having problems and I need to login to his computer to see what’s 
up. Installation didn’t require a restart, which is bonus. As time went on they 
started requiring everyone to have an account, which slowed things down. But, 
for the price, fine.

I also had a client using Splashtop, which is permanently installed on his 4D 
server so I can login and do stuff. I use Dropbox to transfer files, so I can’t 
speak to that part, But the screen sharing/driving the remote computer is aces.

Re: What do you use to monitor your offsite servers?

[John Baughman via 4D_Tech]

I’ll bet there is a reason not to, but from a Mac to a Mac I use good old Apple 
Screen Sharing (VNC). To a Windows server I use Microsoft Remote Desktop for 
Mac. Both are free and work really well. Have not found any limitation with 
either. Nothing required on the server end.

subtables issue

[Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech]

Hi All,

I have a situation I have not encountered and am stumped. I have been asked by 
a person to upgrade pictures in a v17 db. When I open the structure, I still 
see subtables there. I also see the tables that have been created as part of 
conversion. What gives? The new tables appear to be there. I am not sure what 
to do now.

For example I have a table named
Contract with a subtable named History Detail

I also have a table named Contract_History Detail which has field named 
id_added_by_converter.

Can I just change type. why would I still be seeing this subtable the id points 
back to the field in the Contract table

Thanks and regards

Chuck

Re: WP SET ATTRIBUTES

[Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech]

Hi Tim,

Yup, you are correct :) I was looking for a way to create one variable that
can be used many times to apply styling to a block of text rather than
having to run through a whole series of options each time for every
paragraph.

So at the moment let's say here are 3,000 product names being added and we
have specified a certain font, style, colour, etc. for the product names.
We have to run through a whole long list of options EVERY TIME for EACH
product name. I was looking for a more efficient way to do it.

Of course if we could create stylesheets on the fly, that would solve the
problem ... :) but we can't. (Note - we're working on an offscreen WritePro
area and building documents entirely from scratch - not using templates).

Re: Who’s the Gestapo?

[David Adams via 4D_Tech]

Robert:

* This list is run by 4D.

* I've never heard that about the censoring, and it hasn't happened to me.
Which it probably would have, if it were happening at all. Are you 100%
certain that there's not technical glitch on your people' side?

* I'd suggest *not* comparing people to the Gestapo in general but, in
particular, when they're old enough that their parents can remember the
Gestapo.

Re: 4D v16r6 Server not available and other questions

[Alan Tilson via 4D_Tech]

Hello again,

I got the same *ordinal 746 *error opening client v16.3 on the server
machine, fyi.

And the 16.3 server does not show as available from another machine, either.

Thanks,
Alan

What do you use to monitor your offsite servers?

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

I've been using LogMeIn for a few years. It was great at $100/year. It was
OK at $200/year but now it's going up to $350/year and it's time to loo for
something else.

Suggestions?

Having issues with scalar collection in a listbox

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

For context I recommend these two blog posts about displaying collections
in listboxes:

https://blog.4d.com/display-a-collection-in-a-listbox/
https://blog.4d.com/multilevel-collection-in-different-listboxes/


I have a very simple situation that's frustrating the heck out of me. A
parent form has a data object that contains a small collection. It looks
like this:

Form: {

...

config:{

colorScheme: {

name: "Default",

colors: [
"#aeaeae","#ff","#828282","#4f4f4f","#ff","#dadada","#828282"
]

}

}

}


I link this object to a subform. This means setting the subform object's
variable property to "Form.config.colorScheme". So now the colorScheme
object is available through From on the subform. This is such a cool
feature, by the way.

In the subform I have a field for the name an a listbox for the colors. The
name object displays correctly using Form.name. I set the listbox data
source to collection and reference the collection I want as Form.colors.

I verified that these values are correct in the debugger. Plus I can access
Form.colors in the form method just fine.

When you have a scalar collection like this (there is only one set of
values) you use the new 'This
' command to access
them. This has a value property so the single column in the listbox
references This.value.

​This is where I'm stuck. The listbox will just not populate with the
values from the collection. As I say I can verify everything in the
debugger, the non-listbox references work as expected and I can access the
collection data via code as expected. The column type matches the
collection data (string). I can't see what I'm not doing - hopefully
someone else using this technique has a clue.

Thanks as always​

4D v16r6 Server not available and other questions

[Alan Tilson via 4D_Tech]

​Hello everyone,

I am working to upgrade our 4D system from v13.6 to v16r6 and I've gotten
to the point where it is up and running on 4D server.

First, on the server machine, I tried ​to connect with the 64 bit client
and I got the message *Server is using legacy network layer, which is not
compatible with 64-bit clients. *In the 4d docs for v16 it says *Any 4D
client application, 32-bit or 64-bit, OS X or Windows, can connect to a
64-bit version of 4D Server.*

So I installed the 32 bit client on the server machine and I was able to
connect to the server. I did get an error *The ordinal 746 could not be
located in the dynamic link library ASINTPPC.dll. *but the client did
connect and things seem to work normally. Anyone have an idea about how to
fix this error?

Using the 32 bit client from another machine I don't see the v16 server but
I do see the v13 server. How can I make the v16 server visible on the
network?

I'm thinking to try v16.3 but I have no idea how that affects things.

Any tips would really be appreciated!

Alan

Re: WP SET ATTRIBUTES

Hi Pat,

Notice the WP SET ATTRIBUTES command definition. Those semicolons “;” indicate 
individual parameters. You are trying to send 1 text parameter that is several 
text values separated by semicolons. You can’t do that based on the WP SET 
ATTRIBUTES command definition. The command requires 3 parameters to set 1 
attribName. Or you can pass in 5 parameters to set 2 attribName and 
attribValue. You want to set 3 attribNames, pass in 7 parameters.

Re: Execute on Server Method Attribute

Just one thought. Had the calling method process or method ended. If so
pointers can not be used
