Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-6670:
-------------------------------------
[~mbrohl],
If contributors fail to understand the reason d'être of SystemProperty records,
then - IMO - a explanatory page in our Confluence could help. Maybe you can
write one up?
Secretly overrides values of records in the database? Wow! Does that happen?
How would we tell?
All joking aside, if that happens there is something bigger going wrong in the
organisation using OFBiz.
Nevertheless, with metadata fields createdByUserlogin and
lastModifiedByUserlogin automatically populated for all entities (as per
OFBIZ-12391) you would have more insights about who created and/or modified the
records and when.
As for 'in the past....'; we had a lot not available in the past that we have
now. Having data in OFBiz, but not having it in OFBiz is ....
> Have configuration options for Content.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6670
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: content
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Assignee: Pierre Smits
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Upcoming Branch
>
>
> The configuration of an OFBiz is determined by 2 aspects:
> # configuration settings required to successfully start the implementation
> # configuration settings required to have component functions work properly
> The latter involve default choices for various functions to cater to the
> usability of business processes (and therefore screen/forms and/or
> screens/templates.
> Several of these configuration settings are already loaded into the
> SystemProperty table in the underlying RDBMS, to enable adjustments of the
> systemPropertyValue while the implementation is in use. While it is not
> expected that these settings change often, it is possible that they are
> required to be changed during the lifespan of the company/organisation.
> However, it should not be required to go through a deployment process of
> regarding such changed configuration settings in the OFBiz production
> instance (which most - if not all - companies/organisations require when
> files are changes).
> Having all configuration settings of components in the SystemProperty table
> enhances the usability of OFBiz allowing system administrators to adjust the
> value(s) of system property records while the instance keeps running.
