How to add 4D_Info_Report via the Dependency Manager interface:

Go to Design → Project Dependencies on 4D (or Window → Project Dependencies on 4D Server)
Click the [+] button at the bottom of the Dependencies panel
Select the GitHub tab
Enter: https://github.com/4d/4D_Info_Report
In the dependency rule dialog, select Follow 4D version (recommended)
Click Add and restart 4D to activate the component

For your information, the component will be downloaded into the:

~/Library/Caches/4D/Dependencies/.github/4d/4D_Info_Report/ (on Mac)

~\AppData\Local\4D\Dependencies\.github\4d\4D_Info_Report\ (on Windows)

Reference: Integrate 4D components directly from GitHub

🏭 Production Usage (Client/Server)

You can schedule recurring reports in client/server mode for continuous production monitoring.

This background reporting is optimized for production and does not impact application performance.

Option A: No host code changes

From 4D Remote, run the shared method:

aa4D_NP_Report_Manage_Display

A component dialog lets you start a stored procedure that will generate a report every N minutes on the 4D server.

Note: After each 4D Server restart, you must run this shared method again to reactivate automatic report generation.

Option B: with host code automation

Add this to your host database On server startup method:

var $NP : Integer
ARRAY TEXT($at_Components;0)
COMPONENT LIST($at_Components)
If(Find in array($at_Components;"4D_Info_Report@")>0)
  // to start the stored procedure creating report every 5 minutes
  $NP:=New process("aa4D_NP_Schedule_Reports_Server";0;"$4DIR_NP";5;0)
End if

Important: Whatever option you choose (A or B), reports are generated in Folder_reports next to the data file.

📊 Analyze Reports

You can analyze generated reports:

from 4D Remote by running aa4D_NP_Report_Export_Display
from single-user 4D via File / Local reports compare
