Dear All,<br>
<br>
I've a question regarding the OpenSim.ini, *Common.ini, etc. These ini
files are heavily influenced by the implementations and developments you
make. Some parameters never change (i.e. Database settings, Group
settings etc.) but others do.<br>
<br>
Is it possible, to inject the code, which is more static by including
files? Example: the port, which is used for a region/simulation is
configured in the [Network] section and never changes because, once it
is running on this port, you will never change it - especially if you
host regions on one server. I think, it might be a good idea to call a
separate (static) file <span style="font-style: italic;">like</span>
'include network_section "path/network.ini"' to inject the code like you
do to distinguish between HyperGrid, Standalone, etc.<br>
<br>
The user (Grid Admin or, if on another server and allowed by the Grid
Admin, the region admin) then has only to enable/disable the features in
the (new) OpenSim.ini without taking care about the settings, which
depends on that specific region like database, port , groups, etc ...<br>
<br>
In fact, this will reduce upgrade times needed for upgrading a full grid
from day's to hours. Especially most tasks can be automated. Maybe this
option is available today (i don't know) but if not, it might be a good
idea to implement it? If I missed something, perhaps only a hint of
this possibility is missing on opensimulator.org?<br>
<br>
Also, I think, the possibilities of the switches within ROBUST.ini are
not that good described. I do not know, if robust.ini is the file, which
plays the only role for the asset/inventory/user..... server
environment. Does OpenSim.ini plays a role for robust server only as
well? <span>I think, others are puzzling exactly the same. </span><br>
<br>
What do you think? Sorry - if there's a better place, to place my
questions, please tell me.<br>
<br>
With kind Regards<br>
Markus<br>
