Settings.xml not updating log-on windows in the database name

Questions
1

It seems that after updating my settings.xml file in the connection string of PostgreSQL data container, the database name gets not updated in the log on windows.

I have to update manually so Invantive takes this in account. like something cached or so.

If I create a new connection, then it works directly.

Version 22.0.482 PROD

In some situations changes in settings*.xml files are not automatically detected when the log on window is requested.

Please try the following two workarounds:

  • Select the ‘Edit’ button and wait till the discovery process ends. Typically, the changes are incorporated now.
  • When not successful, close the Invantive Query Tool completely and start it again.

Are the changes not yet visible? In general, the settings*.xml file is not a valid definition. Please validate the contents to be valid XML. Invalid settings*.xml files are by design silently ignored currently.

I tried both solutions… the only turnaround I found is to update manually the database name in the log on windows. Then it stays memorized.

That is strange. Can you:

  • rename the keychain file invantive-own-v2.keychain in %USERPROFILE%\invantive to invantive-own-v2.keychainbackup
  • restart the Query Tool
  • does it then use the correct database name from the settings.xml again?
  • don’t forget to remove the newly created keychain file and place the original one back.

In recent releases on 22.0 and BETA, a number of improvements have been made to improve filling in fields from the Invantive Keychain. Maybe there is a problem with these.

this is what i tested:
Postgres connector

  • closed QueryTool
  • changed a database name from “A” to “B” in settings*.xml
  • launched QueryTool
    → database name incorrect (“A”) (not reflecting changes)
  • closed QueryTool
  • renamed invantive-own-v2.keychain to invantive-own-v2.keychain.BAK
  • launched QueryTool
    → database name OK (“B”) (reflecting change)
  • closed QueryTool
  • changed a database name to (“A”) in settings*.xml
  • launched QueryTool
    → database name OK (“A”) (reflecting change)
