Hi,
since Lukas Renggli's server is down, a freshly installed Pier won't
display the images because they appear to be retrieved from that very
server.
Does it have to be this way? Can I make this work somehow with out
having to wait for the server being up again? Where in Pier - I'm new
to it, so please bear with me ;-) - is the connection to Lukas' server
hardwired?
Best,
Michael
When the repository is back on line I can publish this. Until then I
will put things in www.squeaksource.com/PierTemp later today.
I have implemented a control panel for pier as a
WADispatcherEditorPlugin (so you need that class from Seaside 2.6b-kph
latest)
This means that a 'pier' link appears next to 'configure' 'remove'.
Features:
- Select kernel for the pier app or serve all kernels.
- UI for managing users and groups and setting passwords. (requires
latest Unix Security version)
- UI for selecting persistency scheme.
The selector provides a mini form for extra data. e.g.
PRFilePersistency has a textInput to specify the directory for its files.
The 'migrate' button begins the process of migrating data from one
persistency scheme to another. When the migration is complete you are
asked if you wish to commit. If the migration fails for some reason your
existing scheme and data is left untouched.
- UI for creating, deleting and renaming kernels.
Also:
Test case classes for PRPersistency and its subclasses.
- tests for renameKernelTo: aName
- PRMagmaPersistencyTest uses TestResourceMagma (real db in ramdisk) or
TestResourceMockMagma (no db) and is ready for more tests to be implemented.
Migration:
Migration between PRMagmaPersistency and PRNullPersistency or
PRImagePersistency is fully operational in both directions therefore it
is now possible to run your pier site 'in-image' and then switch to
PRMagmaPersistency to make a back up. Once backed up you can load a
fresh image onto your server and then switch back to 'in-image' serving
from memory once more.
enjoy
Keith

PRBackupToMagmaPersistency
In the same way that PRImagePersistency periodically
saves the image to disk, this scheme commits the pier model to the
database.
This leaves the pier model in memory for speed, and it does not slow
down edits
at all with database commits. It should only write the model changes to
disk, and so should be quite efficient and can be run more frequently
than makes sense for PRImagePersistency.
This scheme also supports the ability to upgrade the image and reload
data from the persistent backup.

Dear list,
does anybody have experience with running Squeak services, especially
Seaside/Pier and Monticello, on Apple Xserve hardware? Is there
something that needs to be taken special care of?
Thanks,
Michael
