Why does Dataminer look for a MYSQL central database when it doesn’t exist?

Issue:

We continuously see MYSQL errors in the install log for a particular lab environment (3 Different DMS's i.e. DEV, QA, STG) that has been in place for years and has been through many upgrades since inception. This applies to all Dataminer versions starting from 9 to the latest available to date 10.3.11(RC).

I hope there is a simple config change we need to tweak, feature request to submit or an update to our documentation I can suggest. The error and details are below...

Setup:

We have a standalone dma for development with a local windows cassandra installed/used and offloading dataavg only to file/s.

DB.XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<DataBases xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/config/db">
<DataBase active="true" local="true" type="Cassandra">
<ConnectString/>
<DBServer>localhost</DBServer>
<DSN/>
<DB>mydbname</DB>
<UID>xxxx</UID>
<PWD>xxxx</PWD>
</DataBase>
<DataBase active="True" local="false" type="MySQL">
<OffloadInterval>5</OffloadInterval>
<FileCache enabled="true">
<MaxSizeKB>10000000</MaxSizeKB>
</FileCache>
<Offloads>
<Offload state="active" local="dataavg" remote="dataavg" record="5" oldstyle="true"/>
</Offloads>
</DataBase>
</DataBases>

There is actually something in the help, that you could add to the db.xml, <SkipTableUpdates><SkipTableUpdate/> tags. DB.xml | DataMiner Docs

Kevin, thanks for the response. Apologies though, I don’t think this is applicable here but I do see value in this for the future, I didn’t realize this option was available. Thanks!

I think for now I need to push for the right config in the 1st place vs suppressing a check it shouldn’t do to begin with.
