Can I run developer without repository server

As in the subject. I would like to work with Developer without having a repository server running.
Is that possible without an error message on startup? Is there a preference I can set to do that?

Hi Marcel

I would like to know that as well, but unfortunatly also don’t know how. Are you able to start the database as a service for Mac OS X (Server) as described on page 60ff in the ServoyServer4AdminGuide? It doesn’t work here with a brand new server and OS X 10.5.5 :cry:
Sorry I can’t help - would be a pleasure to.

Regards, Robert

Hi Marcel and Robert,

Servoy 4 has, just as in earlier versions, a startup launcher string in the preferences.
Just comment it out or remove the string in the Startup pane of the Servoy preferences and you are set.

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert

Very nice! Thanks a lot! Have you got such an easy solution on how to start the database as a service for Mac OS X Server? (In fact, it is easy as described in the manual, it just doesn’t work here).

Best regards, Robert

Just comment it out or remove the string in the Startup pane of the Servoy preferences and you are set.

But then I do not start up any db and that is not what I want.
I want a startup, with a database, but without a repository server.

BTW Robert H., I don’t want to be rude but with your posting about starting up the db on os x you are cross posting (not desired) and using this thread for another subject.
This makes the forum even harder to search through…
Just my 2cents.

Hi Marcel

You are absolutly right and not rude telling me that, thanks! I forget it in the heat of the fight .-) Not ment as an excuse.

Then you should create a shell script to start the desired DB and set that in the servoy preferences, I don’t know the right syntax to start Sybase Dbs tough.

Hi guys!

Could you manage that issue right now? I’m very interested how you can do that.

I have not really put much more energy in this since I’ve had other priorities.
I will investigate more next year probably.

Maybe I read this thread too fast, but if you do want to start all your “custom” sybase db’s, but not the servoy_repository db, then just go to the application_server/sybase_db directory. open the sybase.config file (it’s text format), remove the entry for the servoy_repository db (“database/servoy_repository.db”) and you’re done.

Sybase gives the database server the same name as the first database it encounters in the config file, so if you want to give your subase database server a different name, just move one of your other DB’s up in the list to the first position, like:

-ti 0 -x tcpip{dobroadcast=no;port=2638} -qs -qw -o sybase_db/sybase_log.txt
database/udm.db
database/user_data.db
database/example.db
database/log_data.db
database/pdf_forms.db
database/bug_db.db

With the content of the file above, the Syabse database server will be named “udm”.

Hope this helps,

or with the option: -n “NameItYourOwn”

;-)

Brilliant solutions, why did I not think about them. Hey… I did obviously.

This is the technical part and the easy part.

But Servoy does not like that, it complaints about missing servers. And I can not create an export.

So the question should be: Can I run developer without repository server without complaints?

I had hoped there would be a checkbox for that…

Maybe this is a better summary :)

Hi Marcel,

Let me get this straight. Are you saying that when you have checked out solutions (from the Servoy Team Server, i.e. the repository database) and you launch Developer without this repository database it yells at you and doesn’t allow exports of solutions from your workspace?
That would not make any sense. :shock:

What do you use for central repository? The Servoy repository or SVN (or something similar)?

The answer imho should actually matter, because as soon as you have your solutions in your workspace, you should be able to run and export them withour having the servoy_repository Db up and running.

this is from a logical point of view, haven’t tried it.

If this is the case, please create a case in our support system.

Paul

I will try this again soon and create a ticket after that.
It was sort of urgent at the time of writing, less important currently though.
Thank you for your support.
