Versioning - and editing the control document

[Nic Wise]

Hi there

we have versioning enabled, but it was setup without the versioning document (Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration). We just made the Plugins folder, dropped the DLL's in, and it worked.

Now, I want to change the versioning to only have 5 versions of anything. I've tried editing Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration, but it can't be found (it's on all document, so there isn't appear to be a Document-Type-specific config). I've tried creating that, but while the studio allows me to do it, it can then never find it...

So... how do I configure this? preferably without writing an app to do it.

We are running in a tenant database, if that helps.

Ta

Nic

If you don't have a "Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration" document, we just use hard coded defaults.

You can just create  Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration  through the UI.

Thanks. I tried that, and it allowed it to be saved. However, if I try
to edit the document, it fails to load. If I make a new one, it allows
it to be saved over the top again.

Can it be loaded? And edited? Am I missing something?

It is just a standard doc

What do you mean, you can't load?

[Nic Wise]

1. Go into the tenant database
2. Hit "Edit Document". Enter "Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration"
3. "Document not found"
4. Make a new document. Id (at the top): Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration
{
Exclude: false,
Id: "Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration",
MaxRevisions: 5
}

(from memory. Its this:
http://ravendb.net/docs/server/bundles/versioning but in JSON format)

5. Save. Works: "Document saved, do you want to update a system document? etc"

6. Load document: "Raven/Versioning/DefaultConfiguration". Document not found.

Using #888

We have replication documents in this tenant DB, too, and I can load,
edit and view them fine.

We will take a look at this tomorrow, thanks for reporting

[Nic Wise]

Thanks!

I assume if we make a version configuration with a maxrevisions of 5,
and a document has 10 already, it'll just delete the other 5?

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Actually, no.

It does't check for the old revisions beyond the range it was given.

The old revisions would stay there, untouched.

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Nic,

I am unable to reproduce this on our end.

Can you please try again, this time with Fiddler open, and send us the SAZ file?

[Nic Wise]

I'll give it a go tomorrow. Thanks!

Is there any way to purge old revisions then? Or do we just loop thru
all the document, find their revisions, and remove the older ones? (ie
do it manually)

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

You have to do this manually.

We don't consider the fact that we need to change the size that we have, and doing the check all the time would be costly.

[Nic Wise]

And, of course, now I can't reproduce it, on either server (live or
the backup one)

:(
