Re: O/S Replication and Backup interaction with 4D (2004, v15)

I can confirm from experience that VSC can and will crash and corrupt (or maybe vice versa) a 4D data file. Years ago we had mysterious crashes when the IT staff added VSS backups to our 4D data file without telling us. It took a long to realize what was happening. I’m sure you already asked w

For anyone who runs into this problem, and needs to know the deletion control parameters on a relationship, this seemed to be the most direct way to do it. See also the documentation for the System Tables, available to 4D SQL commands:

Re: How to Modify a column using SQL

Hi Chuck, No I meant the field definition as in the original post. I cannot alter the field type etc.. That part of SQL does not work in 4D but I was wondering if that had changed for v17 or even will for v18. From the looks of things it doesn't look like it has or will. Cheers Jim - Jim

RE: O/S Replication and Backup interaction with 4D (2004, v15)

Hi Peter, It sounds like you're dealing with a VM environment, possibly either Hyper-V or VMWare ESxi -- and that there are two types of backups being done on the Virtual Machine; host replication and guest backups. Both of these types of backups being carried out against the VM Guest from th

O/S Replication and Backup interaction with 4D (2004, v15)

Hi I have a legacy 4D server which appears to be getting trashed by the backup services in Windows 10 server. The platform contractor cannot turn off any of the backup stuff and I can’t upgrade to v17 for several weeks due to…..reasons, so need to find a way round this. (There are 2 virtual ma

Hi, When using SET CURRENT PRINTER(Generic PDF driver) on Windows 10 with SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;3;$path) does not restore the checkbox “Print To File” I use the Microsoft Print To PDF printer The checkbox “Print To File” stays on when done printing I believe this can cause problems

Hi Jeremy In fact, with this approach there’s not even any need for the invisible buttons - just associate the [Return] key with the visible default button and the script can decide whether to execute the query or the default “Accept” action. Regards Peter > On 4 Dec 2019, at 09:40, Jeremy Ro
