Hi,
Upon plugin uninstallation, is there a way to delete plugin configuration from milestone system.
because upon reinstallation, we still see old configuration
The behavior that is most often wanted and supported in the design is that you can un-install and re-install and all configuration is retained.
A really quickly fix is to change the GUID of your plugin.
I wonder if what you would like is a tool for you as a developer to make sure you can clean the system? Or, are you thinking that this could also be an issue in customer’s installations?
We wanted the clean/remove configuration, when uninstalled
This is not often done, but would be good if we can remove
There is a couple of reasons why we discourage doing this during uninstall:
- It is difficult to know if the plugin being uninstalled is the last instance of the system. A plugin can, at least on C-code, be installed on any number of Management Client machines, and thus removing the data when just one instance is uninstalled will make it unavailable on all other machines as well.
- To be able to remove the configuration you would need to log on to the server, so you would have to ask the user for server IP, port, user name and password during uninstall, which is fairly uncommon during uninstall.
As Bo mentions it makes more sense to have this in a separate tool and we will consider implementing such.
Hi Bo,
I know this is an old Post, but was this tool ever created ?
No, there is no such tool.
