What do you need to do on the server itself compared to what's available in the 
OPEN ADMINISTRATION WINDOW view from the client?

Re: 13.x Quick Report Export Max Output File Size?

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

to be clear, these functions are available in 32-bit applications, which is why 
the 4D data/structure files can be larger than 4GB.
perhaps with standard commands (Append document, SEND PACKET) you won't have 
that issue.

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

from a C point of view,

you would have to be using 64-bit functions such as fseek64, _fseeki64.

besides, Quick Report, as the name suggests, is for quick and simple tasks.
to be honest, I don't think it was designed to handle files larger than 4GB.

(even YouTube before gangnam style wasn't designed for views above MAXLONG)

Re: 13.x Quick Report Export Max Output File Size?

Certain File types, ie WAV files, have a 4Gig size limit due to the number
of bytes allocated in the header. that contains the file size. Regardless
of the disc file system.

Re: 4D v16 Server and Windows Server 2016

[Uist Macdonald via 4D_Tech]

Hi Jim

The gotcha with Server2016 is that although you can enable Interactive Services 
Detection, session 0 does not accept keyboard and mouse events. Microsoft 
argues this is not a bug, but a defence against hacking, however so many people 
use RDC for remote server management that they are hoping pester power will 
change their minds.
An alternative option is VNC in its various flavours, but is frowned upon by 
system admins.
I am leaning towards using a user to run the 4D servers and lock the session 
between RDC sessions.

Regards

Uist

Re: 4D v16 Server and Windows Server 2016

[Jim Hays via 4D_Tech]

Haven't tried this on Windows 2016 server, only 2012.  From a Microsoft
tech note:

Windows Server 2012 no longer allows interactive services, by default,
which makes the Interactive Services Detection service unnecessary.

If you must run a legacy application that installs an interactive
service on Windows Server 2012, you may sacrifice server stability for
compatibility by changing the following registry value from the
default of "1" to "0".

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
NoInteractiveServices

After doing so and rebooting, the Interactive Services Detection
Service will start.

Re: Listbox Type?

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

Bob,
I think you want OBJECT get data source
.
It will return a pointer and then you can user RESOLVE POINTER to figure it
out.

Note: this isn't a complete solution if you are associating the listbox
with a collection or object as you an do in v17 ( and probably v16r
something). In those cases it returns Nil and I'm not sure they have
thought of a way of informing us what the source is. In a way it doesn't
matter in this instance since you couldn't manipulate the source by
manipulating the listbox object anyway but it would still be nice to be
able to know.

Re: POW Function

[Cannon Smith via 4D_Tech]

Hi Spencer,

Yes, it is! So simple. Thank you.

Perhaps some more help from someone? I’m trying to translate some code on the 
web into 4D. Here are the lines of code along with an explanation:

range = max - min;  
exponent = int(log(range)); 
magnitude = pow(10, exponent);
//So, for example, if your range is from 50 - 1200, the exponent is 3 and the 
magnitude is 1000.


In 4D I’m doing this:

$rRange:=1200-50
$rExponent:=Int(Log($rRange))
$rMagnitude:=10^$rExponent

But I’m getting an exponent of 7 instead of 3. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

* The command hmCal_Delete Column can now delete all columns
* New command hmCal_GET COLUMN LIST
* New command hmCal_SET LINEDASH to define segmented lines
* New command hmCal_SET LINE WIDTH to define the widths of lines
* New area properties to set the scroll increments
* New command hmCal_SET GROUP PROPERTY
* New command hmCal_Get Point Info JSON for getting detailed information about 
a point as an C_OBJECT

and with v7:

* New command hmCal_SET TIMEOUT LIST to set breaks in the time line
* New events: hmCal_OnTooltip, hmCal_OnScroll and hmCal_SortUser
* New command hmCal_GET USER LIST to get a list of all users

[ANN] hmReports 6.0 available for 4D v16 and v17

[Christian Sakowski via 4D_Tech]

Today, heubach media released version 6.0 of hmReports.

hmReports is a plug-in developed by heubach media (http://www.hmplugins.com), 
Hamburg, Germany for 4D.

Version 6 is a huge leap for reporting and drawing capabilities in 4D with 
hmReports.

hmReports is fully certified with 4D v16 and 4D v17 and runs with all 32 and 64 
bit versions (Mac+Windows)!

=== New in v6.0 ===
* Now you can write re-usable code in your reports. You can create 
report-methods and use it everywhere in your reports!
* New rewritten debugger which supports a method stack because of report-methods
* New OPEN/CLOSE PRINTING JOB commands for putting different reports into one 
PDF or printing job
* Change of Object manipulation. $0 can now be any type (also numbers and 
dates). You can set the object's data source to formula to select a data format 
for numbers, dates.
* New text object properties
* SVG output supports styled text now
* and much more (see release notes)

With hmReports we introduced a new dimension of reporting in 4D.
With Multi-Page-Design, Subreports, Barcodes and Editable Preview, hmReports 
offers you long wanted features, which you can directly use TODAY!

=== Multi-Page-Design ===
Now you can add static pages and/or additional iteration pages to a composed 
report. Also, you can design documents with more than one page!

=== Subreports ===
Since Version 3 you can inherit other hmReports documents or pages into new 
documents. For example: You can design one letterhead layout and place it in 
all your reports. If you want to change anything in the header, you only have 
to change the header document and not all of your reports!

=== Barcodes ===
Now you can display any data as a 1D and 2D Barcode without any special fonts. 
hmReports 6 supports over 60 different 1D and 2D Barcode types!

=== Editable Preview===
With hmReports 6, the user can view the final result of the report without 
printing. If data fields and other object don't look good in the preview, you 
can make changes directly in the preview. All changes are automatically saved 
back in the source report and the preview will be updated again, if wanted.

=== Other features of Version 6.0 ===
* Internal PDF rendering engine for creating PDF's on Windows (without 
additional software or printer driver)
* Unlimited Undo/Redo support
* 64 bit Plugin (Mac and Windows)
* Supported languages of the GUI: English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese
* Much better API for guides
* Support of repeating objects
* Variable headers and footers
* Support of Styled Text
* New API for creating a Virtual Structure for Tables, Fields and Variables
* You can now change the name of each section
* New grid
* Arrange objects horizontally and vertically
* Support of line endmarks of line objects
* New Property Palette
* New events for Drag & Drop and printing control
* Direct Copy & Paste from the Finder/Explorer

=== Testimonial ===
Chuck Miller (Informed Solutions, Inc.) about hmReports:

"Your dedication to making products that people can actually use is above and 
beyond. When confronted by a client with a need that makes sense, like 
exporting reports to blob as opposed to text, you take the bull by the horns 
and do it. I can not recommend you or your products any more highly than that."
