| Summary | 0044269: remove GUI rebuild+restart from MMC | ||
| Revision | 2020-10-07 10:53 by alostale | ||
| Description | Project page: http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Projects:MMC_Remove_Rebuild_and_Restart [^] Context: MMC windows contain two functionalities in practice a.) Install, Update, Remove modules with logic inside butler to auto-calculate matching dependencies. This algorithm to find a 'consistent set of modules' is not available anywhere else. b.) Rebuild System + Restart tomcat I put both together and they are just convenient. The same can be done on the command line by usual compilation commands (ant update.database compile.complete.deploy) Idea: - Keep a.) as no replacement for this functionality is available and probably requires some longer discussion with more people. - Remove b.) as just convenience and not longer very useful (see below for reasons) - If okay do so that will no longer be needed to be supported in upcoming appliance - Either by backporting / disabling removal to 20Q1 (which is hopefully good enough release for upcoming Appliance - Or by 'telling people is unsupported' Reasons for removal: - Not supported outside appliance / cloud - Not supported with HA (as that simple system has no idea about multiple servers) - Not supported in Wildfly (or even tried to support) - Not useful as soon as you use hg/git repos or customized modules (as MMC just overwrites with 'common' published module) - Complex, fragile on a technical level I.e. rebuild + restart the running system from inside itself - Effort just to keep working in the platform team For example 19Q1 project to upgrade logging framework itself was quite small but increased by +1 full week just because of problems to keep this b.) above working - Hidden Complexity in appliance to support this Appliance since moving to Ubuntu has 2-3 ugly hidden design choices, strange things which are ugly and nobody besides myself even knows/understands (could be fixed but better to remove) - Ubuntu / Appliance 20.04 changes which will require extra effort for previous item just to keep it working Reasons to maybe keep: - Simple to use if you have no idea about command line - Probably some users exists using it which would be unhappy with us removing the 'convenience 2 click rebuild' - unknown number of partners / customers 'maybe' |
