I started looking at Jasper reports but got frustrated that I was
searching through the site and couldn't find samples and examples. I downloaded the system but couldn't figure out if there was a web component for displaying the reports as html then exporting as PDF and CSV... Do you know if it will display reports to the screen, suitable for printing or exporting? How would the 4D -> Mysql -> JDBC -> Jasper work for web reports with A4D? If I request the data in A4D, it would push the information to mysql in temp tables then pull them via jdbc into jasper? Then displayed In html on screen? I found DBxtra which I thought has a nice on screen reporting interface and a good developer report creator... http://www.dbxtra.com/index.htm Has anyone tried unfuddle? It is a nice 2.0 front end trac, basically with muiltiple project support. They have a really slick report generator for the tickets where you can create and save reports using a js interface. Redmine also has a nice searching and presentation interface that would be interested as a reporting mechanism. This particular application uses ExtJS almost exclusively. So we would really like something that integrates with Ext and presents a javascript interface like unfuddle and redmine. As a sidenote, we use unufddle here for a couple of our projects and it works well with the integrated wiki and messaging system. The ticketing system is nice too, but it needs custom fields. It has built in svn and git! It is really a developer tool though, we have clients that try to use the ticketing portion and it is too confusing for them.

I read on the nug list that there were some macros that v11 allowed
one to script directly to the command line on save and with certain actions, giving you the ability to write a script wrapper to the svn command line. I think I read someone was doing that, or trying it. Obviously only for methods since the rest of the application design environment is still, IMO, in the dark ages and can't interface with modern configuration management tools. svn and git work great with a4d, of course. Just use the unfuddle server repos. We're still using our own svn server running locally on a server here for the paranoid. We wrote a couple of scripts that post-commit issue fixes and commits to the unfuddle rest API in the project we use. As far as using svn with 4D, what we do is version the entire structure (still using 2004) and do as much coding outside of 4D as possible (with A4D). When we make structure and method changes in 4D, we note them and commit the structure. That will work with unfuddle, but it requires some diligence in recording what happened when since certain A4D files won't work with certin revs of the structure. Maybe this is a better application for git since it revs the entire project every time. Still looking for a report manager that let's us create interactive reports (field selections, titles, etc.) at runtime that will display to the browser screen and can be printed, exported and PDF'd. If anyone has other suggestions from experience or otherwise, I'd appreciate hearing it. This has just got to be a problem that has been solved over and over again, right?

Re: Minimising Availability Errors (Apache-4D)

Hi
I just wanted to update this thread with recent experiences. Also, my customer has asked my to look at this for the next 3 days while I'm on site to try to solve the issue of Apache returning 503 errors to the browser. The problem seems to be Apache receiving socket errors instantaneously back from 4D Client Web server. The measured error rate is about 0.05 %, however there are occassional reports from users that they get 503 errors in the browser and the problem is reproducible. SCENARIO: Apache fronted 4D Client 2004 + Active 4D. Running on Windows 2003 Server 4D Server database server On 13 May 2009, at 10:39, Peter Schumacher wrote: > wouldn't it help to create more web processes "on stock" and keep > them running?

LISTENERS v WEB PROCESSES I'm not knowledgeable enough about low level TCP comms to understand this distinction and thereby know what to try. The "processes" created by the SET DATABASE PARAMETER(Client Minimum Web Process) are not visible in runtime explorer, whereas the ones creates in reponse to an actual request are. Does that mean we are actually setting the number of "listeners" by using this command ? I remember when using ITK in the old day's, you could actually set the number of listeners explicitly. It's not clear to me what the equivalent is in 4D. We've also been thinking of looking at Rob Laveauxs NTK, in particular the bullet point that says.. "... high performance, non blocking sockets" If anyone can shed light, particularly on the distinction between "processes" and "listeners" and socket handling in general, if would be welcomed.
