Sometimes restarting the Mac Mini Server can help to solve the problem. 

Please note that this procedure results in all users being logged off the 4D Server and unable to use timeSensor® LEGAL until the 4D Server is running again. An active connection with the remote maintenance will also be interrupted directly.

Restarting the Mac Mini

To restart the Mac Mini server, you need access to its screen. This can be set up for the administrator via Apple Remote Desktop, VNC, TeamViewer or similar. Normal users should not have access to the Mac Mini Server.

Make sure that no one is logged into timeSensor® LEGAL before closing the 4D Server application. A warning dialogue appears in which you can select the logoff option. As a rule, select Wait until all users are logged off. The 4D Server will then close as soon as the last user has completely closed timeSensor LEGAL. Now restart your Mac Mini Client.

Starting the 4D Server

Normally, the database starts automatically when the Mac Mini is started. If this is not the case, you can start the 4D Server manually by restarting the timeSensor database.



If the 4D Server is the only 4D application on the device, you can add this file as a login object (System Preferences - Users and Groups). This way, the database is automatically restarted after a restart of the Mac Mini. However, for this to work, the 4D Server must be the only 4D application on the Mac Mini.

The Mac Mini Server is not a workstation, so please do not work on the server. This could disrupt the functionality of the database or even damage it.
