Hi all,
Our profile optimization [1] script for 3.0.0 replaces [2] already
available deployment.toml with a per-profile specific updated/optimized
toml file. (i.e. api-devportal.toml, gateway-worker.toml, etc.). This
process affects already configured setups, to lose the configurations.
A user running the profile optimization might follow two approaches.
1. Run profile optimization on a vanilla pack.
- So no any configurations done when the profile optimization is
executed
2. Run profile optimization on a configured pack.
- User/deployment specific configurations are already done in the
deployment.toml file and user run the profile optimization after that.
There is no any issue with the Approach-1. But the Approach-2 results in
the above mentioned issue. A user might have made all his configurations in
the deployment.toml file. But once the profile optimization is executed, he
will lose all those config changes.
So the suggested solution is to pass an argument/option when we run the
optimizing script, which decides whether to replace the deployment.toml or
not.
sh <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh --optimize *--<new-option>
*-Dprofile=api-publisher
In this case, we have to assume(and mandate) that user has manually applied
the profile optimization related configurations too, into the
deployment.toml file while doing the other configurations. So if the "new
option" decides not to override the deployment.toml file, the profile
optimization steps other than deployment.toml changes will be applied.
So we have two concerns on how we use this new option.
*What is the ideal name for the new option (<new-option>)?*
Suggestions: --override, --overrideConfig
*What is the default behavior of the new option?*
- What is the default behavior if the new option is not passed when running
the optimization.?
- Should it override the user-made configs with the profile-specific
deployment toml or not?
- Concerns:
- If override the toml, users manual configs will be completely
removed (may be unknowlingly too).
- If do not override toml, the profile optimization will be done
incompletely. Anyway we can echo a message conveying that the deployment
toml was not overridiiden.
Appreciate your input on this.
