Unique Files Verification Software (Mac)

[Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech]

I need a utility that can scan a backup drive (or index) and identify what’s 
unique to the backup volume without expecting identical pathnames on the other 
drives... So, the routine would have to query (effectively a Finder Search for 
each file) all specified drives looking for each file and reporting those that 
are missing... Basically, I need to know which data on this given backup drive 
is truly unique and therefore potentially valuable.

Might there be a 4D solution?  Have you dealt with large directories or many 
directories from the file system? If there is a utility already built I’m open 
to that as well.

Thanks,

Robert

Re: htaccess and .gz

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

the web server has a built-in compression feature,

Web HTTP compression level
Web HTTP compression threshold
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R2/4D/16-R2.1620/Web-Server.302-3112186.en.html

so normally you shouldn't have to care about gunzipping files yourself.

Re: Host Structure in a component

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

the code "seems OK..."

doesn't it work inside a different host?
what if you rename the arrays to something different?

local variables are permitted in that context,
but sometimes strange things occur.

Re: Users & Groups (What is "proper access privileges"?)

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

generically:
Administrator

Designer can access, BUT especially for creating it is not recommended.
When I access (through code) the User/Group system I always change the 
user privs to Administrator.

Users & Groups (What is "proper access privileges"?)

[Jeremy French via 4D_Tech]

What is meant by "proper access privileges" in Users and Groups? Is there a 
definiton somewere?

3-commands mention "Designer" and "Administrator", who can execute the command. 
Those commands are:
  1)  BLOB TO USERS
  2)  DELETE Users
  3)  USERS TO BLOB


But many other commands do not identify who is a privileged user. In the Error 
Management section, the documentation simply says these commands return an 
error when "you do not have the proper access privileges".

Who has proper access privileges for the following commands?
• GET GROUP LIST 
• GET GROUP PROPERTIES
• GET USER LIST
• GET USER PROPERTIES
• Is user deleted
• Set group properties 
• Set user properties


QUESTIONS:
1)  What is meant by "proper access privileges"?
2)  Which users have "propert access privileges" when the documentation doesn't 
identify the privileged users?
3)  What am I missing here?

Re: Host Structure in a component

I had no issue with this kind of code from a compiled component.
However, you can write:

ARRAY LONGINT($tableNums;0) 
ARRAY TEXT($tableNames;0) 
Begin SQL 
 SELECT TABLE_ID , TABLE_NAME 
 FROM _USER_TABLES 
 INTO :$tableNums, :$tableNames;
End SQL

Re: PHP EXECUTE in a loop

[John Baughman via 4D_Tech]

Couldn’t figure out how to call relaunch_4d_php.  Thanks Patrick.

Unfortunately, while it works to eliminate the error, testing it just now it 
took about 10 seconds to execute which makes it unusable in a large loop.

The repeated calls seems to still be the best solution or to not use PHP as 
someone else has suggested.

Before call any 'PHP EXECUTE', I used these 2 code lines first:

$isOK:=PHP Execute("";"relaunch_4d_php")
PHP SET OPTION(2;True;*)

Since, I have few PHP error like you describe.

Host Structure in a component

[Nigel Greenlee via 4D_Tech]

I know this topic has been covered in General before but there are some things 
I am not sure about and i seem to be having a problem.

I want to get the details of a host structure in a COMPILED component.


ARRAY LONGINT($tableNums;0)
ARRAY TEXT($tableNames;0)
Begin SQL
 SELECT TABLE_ID
 FROM _USER_TABLES
 INTO :$tableNums;

 SELECT TABLE_NAME
 FROM _USER_TABLES
 INTO :$tableNames;
End SQL

I know that code works inside the host database uncompiled and my reading 
suggested this is how i should be getting the structure in the component. 
However i am getting an error(just after this SQL. (error 1430) the variable 
does not exist.

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me where I am going wrong here.


Thanks.

Nigel Greenlee

Re: Backup files - restoring backup

Hi Pat,

Check the size of the log file.  This will give you some indication of how long 
it's been since last backup.  It is possible to have .journal without .4bk.

Maybe. Or they have only a (very large) journal file ...
Because the backup isn't configured, but the writing the journal file is 
active.

Backup files - restoring backup

[Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech]

A client is getting the message:

"An error occured during the log file integration, it is recommended to
restore the last backup of this database in order to attempt the
integration of this log file""

I've told them how to restore the backup file manually but they say they do
not have any files with the .4BK extension. Surely, if they didn't have any
backup files, this message wouldn't even appear? If the database was
damaged, they'd just get a "damaged database" error instead, if no backup
had been set up? Right?

(They are using 4D v13.6, server).

I think the .bk files must be there somewhere - they just can't find them.

You can with 4D v16 or one of the 4D v15r releases, but not in a 4D 15 dot 
release or before.

So, if you are using 15.4 or earlier you would need to set a process variable 
in the hidden rows and use it.

htaccess and .gz

I should try to compress a 3.5Mb .css file on 4D Web Server.
Usually with apache you have .gz file and if you use an htaccess file with the 
specific row the browser load the .gz file instead the normal .min.css file.
Is it possible to do the same thing on 4D Web Server?
Have anyone never used .gz file on 4D Web Server?

Re: osx open url vs osascript FYI

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

for opening documents

plugin
https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-shell-execute

component (internally LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS)
https://github.com/miyako/4d-component-sublaunch

in particular, the escaping of paths is quite robust,
not just double-quoting the whole string.

but going back to the original post,
I wonder why OPEN URL could not open "some" files.

perhaps the HTML in question was downloaded,
and GateKeeper or some other mechanism is blocking the operation?

would

xattr -c {drop the file here}

in terminal solve the issue?

Re: osx open url vs osascript FYI

[Nigel Greenlee via 4D_Tech]

David

This works for me launching(all sorts of) documents..(OSX there is a another 
bit bit i have for windows)

$_t_DocumentPath:=<—full path to document
If (Test path name($_T_DocumentPath)=Is a document)
$_t_PosixPath:=Convert path system to POSIX($_t_DocumentPath)

$_t_FilePath:=$_t_char+$_t_PosixPath+$_t_Char
$_t_applicationName:=UTIL_GetDocApps ($_t_DocumentType;True)  //do some stuff 
to check what app they want(not entirely necessary  This will only ask once!-so 
could be launching an HTML doc with preferred browser for example

If ($_t_applicationName#"")
  //now we must checkt the applicaiton exist
$_t_ApplicationPath:=System folder(Applications or program files)

If (Not(Test path name($_t_ApplicationPath+$_t_applicationName)=Is a document))
  //i am not faffing about looking for apps installed somewhere else..
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open "+Char(34)+$_t_PosixPath+Char(34))

Else 
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open -a "+Char(34)+$_t_applicationName+Char(34)+" 
"+Char(34)+$_t_FilePath+Char(34))

End if 

Else 
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open "+Char(34)+$_t_PosixPath+Char(34))

End if

Re: Dynamic PDF Page Extraction...

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

1. these are LEP based; probably not performant in a loop...

https://github.com/miyako/4d-component-poppler
https://github.com/miyako/4d-component-pdftk

2. this one is Mac only

https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-pdf-kit

3. this one is not very good with Japanese text (returns duplicates)

https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-PDF2TEXT

4. I know there are several PHP based solutions too,
but they tend to be totally useless with Japanese text,
so I haven't really used them.

Re: Dynamic PDF Page Extraction...

[Koen Van Hooreweghe via 4D_Tech]

Hi Robert,

Is this on macOS?
If so, you could use OS built in python. There are a few automator scripts 
which handle PDF documents (extract odd/even pages,...) Actually inside they 
are python scripts.
Eg: /System/Library/Automator/Extract odd & Even 
Pages.action/Contents/Resources/extract.py

This script can be copied and modified to extract pages or a page range. And 
then call it from 4D using LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS.

I found this a bit slow if the script is called repeatedly. Because the loading 
of python libraries.

Alternatively you could use the Coherent PDF command line tools (available on 
Win an Mac): http://community.coherentpdf.com
Also called from 4D using LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS.

Re: Anyone successfully running Sierra on their development machine

[Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech]

Hi Kirk, understood, I decided to put the goggles on and go for Sierra and will 
deal with the issues if any. I can still boot from a clone of 10.11.6.  Ive not 
done a clean install in a very long time. It's rather interesting to learn 
exactly where the data resides and how to migrate that forward. 

So, what about a light oil? Is that too encouraging? :)

Dynamic PDF Page Extraction...

[Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech]

I have a need to process (extract) groups of pages (bank statements in this 
case) from a single PDF with more than 2,500 pages. Apparently they were merged 
and I need to un-merge. I think all of the statements are: 8, 10 or 12 pages in 
length and they are PDF searchable (some docs apparently scanned by an iX500). 
This is the dynamic part—varying document lengths to be extracted. They came 
from Chase bank via subpoena (I assume all of the statements, 99% of the 
document, are electronic in origin and that no one actually printed 5 seems of 
paper). If they were already grouped together with the same number of pages per 
report (statement), I could process each group with Adobe Acrobat DC and 
automatically name the files via an existing Hazel method. So, might there be a 
way to do this with 4D? Other ideas assuming the original pre-merged files are 
unavailable?

Thanks,

Robert

Have you tried using ".html" instead of ".htm"?
What happens if you doubleclick your .htm-document in the finder?
