When and how to use "-Dde.metas.clientcheck.Enabled=false"

Summary

Add -Dde.metas.clientcheck.Enabled=false to the startup options to disable the client from comparing its own version with the version stored in the AD_System database table.

This means that the client will start, even if its build number/version does not match the metasfresh server’s version.

Disabling the version check is useful if you temporarily need to run a modified client without the need to make a complete company-wide metasfresh rollout.

Further notes:

• To disable the client check, you can comment-in the commented-out variable METASFRESH_CLIENT_CHECK_OPTS in either the RUN_metasfresh_linux.sh or RUN_metasfresh.bat client startup script.
• You can also set de.metas.clientcheck.Enabled to 'N' in the AD_Sysconfig table in order to globally disable the client check.
