Hi Jeff, We had to relaunch all our servers for them to get the time update, but they are still on v16r6. I thought the daylight saving bug had been fixed in v17.1 so I’m curious to know what you find if you get more information. Good luck. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Aetna, AB

Re: 4D Server v17.1 and time change

Thanks. Good to know it has been solid otherwise. P.S. Have you seen the delayed process not waking up issue since moving to v17.1? -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Aetna, AB Canada > On Mar 11, 2019, at 4:47 PM, Jeffrey Kain wrote: > > Nobody else has responded... so I guess it

Re: 4D Server v17.1 and time change

Thanks, Jeff. I’ll be sending out 1 v17.1 build next month and hope to see the same thing. I still have the issue several times a week in v16r6. Thanks. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Aetna, AB Canada > On Mar 11, 2019, at 5:19 PM, Jeffrey Kain wrote: > > No, not at all since

Delay Worker Process

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to do some quick and dirty logging to track down an issue at a customer’s site. As part of that I need to log some information to a file, always on the server. I figured the simplest would be to call a method each time I need to log some information and pass the info to

Re: Delay Worker Process

Hi Gabriel, Part of what gets logged isn’t know at the time I know something needs to be logged. The code is easiest if I can say, “Hey, please log this situation” and have the actual logging happen a few seconds later. As I said, this is a quick a dirty injection of some logging code to track

Re: Apple Notary Service

Hi Miyako, I do have the yearly membership and find it important to get our application to behave as closely as possible to what users expect. I often don’t have any contact with someone who downloads our software and if they see any kind of warning that looks fishy they won’t even try it out a

Auto Updating 4D Not Working

I’m having trouble with one particular app auto updating. When it should be quitting, it just hangs forever. 4D v17.1HF1, macOS only. (It works fine on Windows). I’m using essentially the same code as in several other applications, also on v17.1HF1, but this is the only application that doesn’t

Re: Auto Updating 4D Not Working

Hi Lutz, Thanks for replying. I’ve been using this mechanism in several applications for a few years now. No problems with any of them except this specific instance. I can’t see that I’m doing anything different in my code than with the other applications. Wondering if you can remember more det

Re: Auto Updating 4D Not Working

Hi John, Thanks for the suggestion. I actually use a temporary folder to place the “new” version before calling SET UPDATE FOLDER. But I use the same one for all my applications and it works for all the rest, so I doubt security issues on the folder is the issue. Thanks anyway. -- Cannon.Smit
