Tech Tip: An approach to checking latency between 4D Server and 4D Client
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 17 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: July 10, 2019
Here is a simple method that can be used to check the latency between the 4D Server and 4D Client.
C_LONGINT($beginMS;$endMS;$a;$min;$max;$i;$end) ARRAY LONGINT($al_latency;0) C_TIME($trash) C_TEXT($crlf;$tab) $crlf:=Char(Carriage return)+Char(Line feed) $tab:=Char(Tab) $end:=100 For ($i;0;$end) $beginMS:=Milliseconds $trash:=Current time(*) $endMS:=Milliseconds APPEND TO ARRAY($al_latency;$endMS-$beginMS) End for $init:=$al_latency{1} DELETE FROM ARRAY($al_latency;1;1) $a:=Average($al_latency) $min:=Min($al_latency) $max:=Max($al_latency) $msg:="" $msg:=$msg+"tests ran: "+$tab+$tab+String($end)+$crlf $msg:=$msg+"min latency: "+$tab+$tab+String($min)+"ms"+$crlf $msg:=$msg+"max latency: "+$tab+$tab+String($max)+"ms"+$crlf $msg:=$msg+"average latency: "+$tab+String($a)+"ms"+$crlf $msg:=$msg+"init latency: "+$tab+$tab+String($init)+"ms (first connection)"+$crlf ALERT($msg) |
Here is an example of the output observed when 4D Client and 4D Server are ran on the same physical machine:
