Documentation change suggestions for Administrator's guide, Chapter 16: Configuration files

[Mikael Kalms]

Hi,

 

I was looking to change the database path for my local server, but had quite a bit of trouble finding the appropriate documentation. It took me three or four rounds of searching until I had connected the dots. Here are things that would haved helped me get an answer more quickly:

 

In the https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/administration/plastic-scm-version-control-administrator-guide document...

* In "Chapter 16: Configuration files", the links in the 'db.conf' section are broken (they lead to anchors in the guide that have been renamed since - #Chapter8:Databasesetup vs #Chapter8:Repositorystorageconfiguration). It would have helped me if 1) this section had correct links, and 2) it mentioned that the db.conf was for configuring SQL-type databases.

* In "Chapter 16: Configuration files", there is no mention of the 'jet.conf' file (there is a section for it in Chapter 8 however). It would have helped me if 1) there was a separate section about jet.conf in Chapter 16, and 2) it mentioned that jet.conf was for configuring Jet-type databases.

* It would have helped me if there was a default 'jet.conf' present in "c:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server", as that would have allowed me to discover the setting(s) by looking through all the server's config files.

Hi Mikael,

We will fix these links and complete the documentation about the jet.conf file.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Hi Mikael,

The Administrator's guide is now updated:

* The links related to the "db.conf" configuration file are now fixed. And we now specify that this file is about SQL-type backends.

* We included the "jet.conf" file explanation in the Chapter 16.

Regarding the settings of the jet.conf configuration file, we hope that you can find this info helpful.

 

Regards.

María
