Tech Tip: Client Cache folder using an IP versus FQDN
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 13.1 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: October 13, 2012

The Client Cache folder created on 4D Remote machine when connecting to a server uses a concatenation of the database name (dbase name or full structure filename) and the network path used for connecting (IP address or domain name). If switching between an IP address and a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) the Client Cache folder will be different.



Example 1 (IP):
Connection Path (IP): 10.64.0.12
Server Structure Path: C:\MyDatabases\Test.4dbase\Test.4DB
Client Cache Folder: C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\4D\Test_10_64_0_12

Example 1 (FQDN):
Connection Path (FQDN): alaska.private.4d.com
Server Structure Path: C:\MyDatabases\Test.4dbase\Test.4DB
Client Cache Folder: C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\4D\Test_alaska_private_4d_com


Example 2 (IP):
Connection Path (IP): 10.64.0.12
Server Structure Path: C:\MyDatabases\Test4app\Test4.4DC
Client Cache Folder: C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\4D\Test4.4DC_10_64_0_12

Example 2 (FQDN):
Connection Path (FQDN): alaska.private.4d.com
Server Structure Path: C:\MyDatabases\Test4app\Test4.4DC
Client Cache Folder: C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\4D\Test4.4DC_alaska_private_4d_com
