Re: Database locked in merged application

IMHO, I feel that this is a bad idea. I have not worked with built applications, so there may not be a away to avoid this situation, BUT... with the datafile inside the app package(Mac) you run the significant risk of deleting the datafile during an update. I always keep the datafile outside

Re: Server HyperThreading

Hi Jeff, We have 4D server 15.4 running on Apple hardware, 8 cores - 16 with hyperthreading. From what I can see in Activity Monitor, only half of the cores get used, which makes me suspect the virtual cores are not being used. This is v15 and 32 bit. Maybe v16 and/or 64 bit changes that.

Are All Your Tables Getting Logged?

Hey All, I ran into an issue today where I was surprised (understatement) to see some tables did not show up in my log file. It turns out the little check box "Include in Log File" on the table definitions was unchecked. (24 tables out of 229) For those of you who use custom primary keys, it's

Server HyperThreading

Is there any conventional wisdom out there (or better yet some 4D Server benchmark) regarding whether HyperThreaded cores help or hurt 4D Server performance? Thanks! Jeff ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ:

if you, like me, are intrigues by object notation and the new "Form" command, I've posted an example UI on GitHub, a custom form for backup settings. https://github.com/miyako/4d-utility-backup-dialog there is almost no code written for the form, yet it provides access to all configurable

How to set the file name of a QR Report to disk file.

I am executing a report with… QR REPORT([Timesheets];Get 4D folder(Database folder)+"Resources"+Folder separator+"TimeSheetEmployeeExport.4qr”) This works fine, but I want to dictate or at least offer a preset file name to the end user in the save dialogue. Tried various approaches without any

Re: How to set the file name of a QR Report to disk file.

Thanks Doug. What I need is specifically related to using the command QR REPORT with a prebuilt .4qr file which exports a selection of records to a text file. I am not at all concerned with where the file is being saved, but what the file name will be. I do not see any way to force QR REPORT
