objectdb.conf Information

Hello,

Is it possible to get detailed information on objectdb.conf client vs server?

We do have an objectdb.conf for our client and one for our server instance. Now there're several questions:

- Which config entries are relevant for the client and which one for the server? I.e. what about:
<cascade-persist always="true" on-persist="false" on-commit="true" /> we want to activate enhancer agent, guess this is client right?
activation-code - guess this is required for server only right?

Can we leave out non-required (for client and/or server) xml elements from the client and the server config?

Yes, this is confusing.

The objectdb.conf file has 7 main elements.

• <general>                  for server + client + embedded mode.
• <database>                 for server + embedded mode.
• <entities>                 for client + embedded mode.
• <scheme>                   mainly for client + embedded mode.
• <server>, <users>, <ssl>    for the server only.

Only the <schema> element is currently optional but maybe other elements should become optional in future versions at least for server / client setting.

As the result of this division, subelements of <database> have no effect on the client side and subelements of <entities> have no effect on the server side.

Hi,

Would it be possible to allow leaving out non-relevant elements from the config for the next release?

This would certainly help a lot in managing configurations...

thanks a lot,

Alex

Or something that might be even of greater use if possible would be to split up into top-level elements <server> <embedded> <client> and <shared> with the option to leave out all other top-level elements depending on current run mode?

Changing the general structure of the configuration file is not expected anytime soon.

But build 2.3.3_01 makes all the top level elements except <general> optional. When a missing top level element is needed - default setting is used.
