Re: Moving from v12 to v15, any tips on memory and network settings?

Hi Paul— I’m pretty sure you can drop the timeout settings now. I don’t have any projects with that number of users, but I think, for at least the past 2-3 versions, the connection defaults are fine. Bill William W. Weale Business Owners Support, LLC. Operations Analysis MIS Advising

styled/formatted text for email body contents

I have a project that uses a web form for ordering. A selection list of products is offered in the form and the user fills in a few header fields along with the quantities he wants of each item. Upon submittal, part of the web server’s task is to send back, via email, confirmation of the

Re: web serving from 4D client

If you need significant 4D Client (not web serving) involvement with 4D Server or if the need of the web server for 4D data and functionality is non-trivial, I would forget the cloud as an option. Only solution in that direction I could think of would be to put 4D Server and 4D Client/webserver

Re: Saving a backup to a network share when running as a service

I would get to the point where things would run for a few days, then break, for reasons I couldn’t explain. Only thinking was that of all the permissions potentially involved, network configuration change or OS patch could easily break things. —Bill > On Nov 17, 2016, at 4:19 PM, Joshua

Re: Server Backup when running as a Service

Can you check (manually or by code) if the target volume is mounted when the backup is run? I had so many problems with this at one site that we gave up trying. A more serious problem, imo, is not having a reliable place to maintain the log file… Bill > On Nov 17, 2016, at 2:41 PM, Cheryl

Re: It's the little things (ordering parameters)

Text-based coding would work better for me if the handling or ordering of language elements where consistent across languages. Nouns, verbs, subjects, objects, modifiers, etc. take different positions or ordering in different languages. My native language is English and my only backup is Latin.

The machine selected to run the web server, the 4D User assigned to that machine (with or without a password), the HTML root file and anything else you wish to do to configure and authorize the WEB START SERVER call can be managed in 4D records and forms. And, obviously, they can be as “secure"

I can say that, as far as a version 14 built c/s system, a web serving 4D client can be set to auto launch while also starting the webserver. As Scott pointed out it’s important that the user assigned to the web server client be assigned to a group with web server privileges and (I’m quite

Hi Scott— It’s been a while, but I recall that there can be quirkiness involving the persistence, or not, of some of the settings in the configuration ui. I’ve worked around that by keeping them in db preferences records which can be modified by designer/administrator/user as appropriate. On

For a text field, is there any entry (other than no entry) we can make either in the Entry Filter of a form object’s property list or in the filter editor which would allow the entry of a carriage return? In other words, can this be done without requiring code? Thanks, Bill William W. Weale

I usually maintain a Payments (or Credits, not not including goods and services for sale) table. It can include many “types” of payments and charges. It’s needed to maintain an audit trail for A/R. I know it’s not, er, normal, but I also maintain Total and Amt Due fields in the Invoice table.
