Re: [platform-update-dev] Change log for updates - is 5 levels enough?
|
History size can be changed in Install/Update preferences (default is 5). I
don't think 1000 would scale - we are talking 1000 XML configuration files
and 1000 child objects of the 'Configuration History' parent.
History as it works today is designed to allow you to 'undo' changes you
made to your configuration in the relatively recent history if the activity
you performed caused problems. You can also pick stable configurations and
save them to avoid loosing them due to the limited window size.
Looks like what you want is a new feature - a compressed (archived) log of
activities without the ability to restore them. In a sense, we would need
to do dual logs - full configuration (as today) and compressed (and
therefore scalable) that only contains activities and is a plain text file.

I'd rather see a log size of about 1000 for safety. Keeping a more
permanent record of the log does will help support teams greatly for
products.There would be a history trail of what fixes or patches were laid
down etc.

Based on testing it looks like the change log kept by the Update Manager
remembers 5 changes. We may need to consider increasing this
number or packaging changes differently.
I started/stopped a base workbench, added a feature link file and
started/stopped, added a 2nd feature link file and again started/stopped.
My change log file is full - any other mods and it will runeth over.
Content below based on the system summary (I've added the ----- for
visibility):

As soon as I maintain one of the linked (extension)features I loose
visibility to the first two actions. This seems to be due to the two-pass
processing where each pass (install/reconcile and then enable) is a logged
event.
Can we consider either doubling the number of log entries or managing the
log such that an install/reconcile and then enable is one logged event?
