Repository

Hi all,

how to remove the repository funcionality or how to reduce it (I´ve

Thanks a lot
Cheers

I'm doing an automatic backup/reorganize(garbage collect) as part of my
image startup script
(http://readthesourceluke.blogspot.co...up-script.html).

The following might help:

"Connect STS Repositry"
stsRepositryPath := 'S:\Dolphin Smalltalk X6\STS Repositry'.
StsManager startUpOn: stsRepositryPath.
"Backup Repositry and reorganize"
stsBackupPathStream := ReadWriteStream
on: String new.
stsBackupPathStream
nextPutAll: stsRepositryPath;
nextPutAll: '/Repository.BACKUP_'.
Date today
printOn: stsBackupPathStream
format: 'yyyyMMdd'.
Time now
printOn: stsBackupPathStream
format: 'HHmmss'.
(StsManager current databaseConnection)
createBackupOn: stsBackupPathStream contents;
reorganize.

CU,

Udo

Hi Udo,
thanks for your answer.

But how to remove the repository? What, if I would like to work
without the repository from now on? Is that possible?

Thanks
Marco

As long as you don't use any STS functions you can simply delete it.
You may have to reset StsMananger into a state where it doesn't know
about the repository to prevent file lock errors on the OmniBase DB.

"StsManager current shutdown" should do the trick. After this you can
delete the Repository.

However I'm not sure whether you can simply uninstall the STS package
completly. It's not that I know of any issues - it's just that I never
tried it.

Just one more thing as I cannot believe someone wants to work with STS:
If you versioned all the standard image packages into STS this might be
the reason why the repository is so big. If you limit yourself to
versioning only your own packages and do a reorganize once in a while
the repository size normally remains a lot smaller.

This should have been "[...] work withOUT STS [...]" of course. Sorry
David :-)

You can uninstall STS like any other package. But you should not do this
while the database is still open. Evaluate "StsManager shutdown" before
uninstalling the package.
