Configuration option to control the availability of "Create new
database" option in the "Create Database" wizard
A configuration option
"/org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess/Policies/Features/Base/CreateLocalDatabase"
has been introduced, which is of type boolean, defaulted to "true",
and controls whether the "Create Database" wizard (started via
File/New/Database) exposes the "Create a new database" option. It can
be set in file:
.../basis3.2/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess.xcs

I gave a try on this new feature (since I was one who asked for it),
but I can only put it to work on a brand new OOo user.
If I try this on an already existing user, it does not work.
Have I missed something? Is there a way to tweak an existing user?
That is related to the issue of upgrading from previous OOo versions.
Thank you
Hello Olivier,
it's a cache thing. ( Frank actually pointed that out to me. )
So - if you edited the xcs file directly *then* you must force an
update to the cached settings to get it.
One easy way is just to open the extensions manager and change
anything, disable and re enable an extension will do it and as far as
I can tell to any extension. As soon as you do this the setting is
picked up.
Of course this isn't how one is supposed to to this - one should use a
script to change the property.
Here is an example basic methong Frank supplied in other email - note
that was off the top of his head and I never tried it...just did the
ExtMgr trick instead.
Dim oProvider as Object
oProvider = createUnoService( _
"com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider" )
Dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args(0).Name = "nodepath"
args(0).Value = _
"/org.openoffice.office.Office.DataAccess/Policies/Features/Base"
Dim oNode as Object
oNode = oProvider.createInstanceWithArguments( _
"com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess", _
args() )
oNode.CreateLocalDatabase = FALSE
oNode.commitChanges
