Can't set system directory with derby.system.home for Network Server
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-2136
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2136
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Network Server
Reporter: Frederik
Priority: Minor
I'm a total newcomer to Derby. Decided to play with it today after reading
http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2006/11/08/java_database_derby
I want to use the Network Server deployment mode. For determining the System
Directory (which holds properties file and the database directories, etc), I
understood from docs (e.g.
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/devguide/cdevdvlp27610.html) that I should
set derby.system.home.
I tried (using the newer scripts in $DERBY_HOME/bin)
export DERBY_OPTS=-Dderby.system.home=/data/derby
startNetworkServer
but that failed to set the system directory properly (as witnessed by
"NetworkServerControl sysinfo"). It was using current directory when starting
derby.
I finally discovered that it works if I do
export DERBY_OPTS=-Duser.dir=/data/derby
startNetworkServer
That seems to be either a bug or a docbug to me.
(Almost all docs are using the scripts in
$DERBY_HOME/frameworks/NetworkServer/bin instead of the newer ones in ./bin ;
except for http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/getstart/ and the mention in
10.2 release notes)
