I agree, the two serve entirely different purposes. Multi tenancy simply means different databases sharing the same code base. If any differences in configuration are substantial enough, then this is when you consider two or more instances instead of multi-tenancy. I don't favor multi-tenancy

Hi Jacques, I think the SystemProperty feature should not be tight together with the multi tenant terminology. It is usable without it and therefore should have it's own configuration. It would just add more confusion to users. Regards, Michael Am 18.02.18 um 08:08 schrieb Jacques Le

Thanks Michael, Taher's reluctance pushed me to think about another solution. I add the same thought than you but with a different solution. We could have a multitenant and multitenant-initial readers, like we have seed and seed-initial Like ext readers , it would not be included in loadAll.

I don't think that this is the right way to go. The original problem is that we have some example SystemProperty data which is loaded automatically when you setup OFBiz in the documented way. This leads to confusion when someone changes the file properties for e.g. the mail transport

The more I think about it, the more I believe the ultimate solution is to remove all properties in favour of SystemProperties. And to no longer use properties but only SystemProperties. This entails to 1. completely implements EntityUtilProperties 2. deprecate UtilProperties 3. replace  all
