Description dsteigne 2011-07-27 16:35:32 UTC

Description of problem:
It does not appear that we document that JON now ships with a development-only in-memory database. This tends to scare folks off when evaluating JON because they do not want to deal with the complexity of setting up a database just to start working with JON. 

In the 2.4 Installation Guide it states only:

Although the installer lists other database types (like Microsoft SQL Server), these are not supported. 

Can this Warning be changed back to what's in the 2.3 documents:

Please note that although the installer offers a choice of other databases (for example, embedded H2 and MS SQL server), these are for demonstration purposes only and are not supported. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.x

Comment 1 Deon Ballard 2011-10-03 22:35:03 UTC

I updated the note in 2.4 and 3.0:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/2.4/html/Installation_Guide/Prerequisites-Database.html

Then, for 3.0, I decided to experiment, and I added a small section on setting up the server strictly for testing, using the H2 database:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/3.0/html/Installation_Guide/JON_Server_Running_The_Installer.html#installing-for-demo

I can remove this easily if support or dev thinks that's too risky.

Comment 2 Robert Buck 2011-11-29 17:13:35 UTC

Correction:

JBoss ON is only support using a PostgreSQL or Oracle database. It is not supported using the H2 embedded database, and the H2 database should never be used in a production environment. 

Change To:

Supported databases for JBoss ON include PostgreSQL or Oracle. The H2 embedded database is unsupported and should never be used in a production environment.

We got trumped by bug 753209.

I've removed all references to H2.
