Hi,

In one project i got the following message at startup
2014/07/24,10:09:04.936,5,T,,1,,5,Variables,Complete deletion of variables is forced by VARCONF.DAT configuration

Indeed, in the Varconf.dat file i found the following
[VARIABLE]
MaximumNumber=300000
InternalWithoutProducerListBehaviour=0
SendWriteRequestIfSameValue=0
CompleteVariableDeletion=1

Do you know what's the use of this option?

Thx

Hello everyone and happy new year since this is my first message of 2015! 😛

Maybe in the meantime someone discovered the meaning of this CompleteVariableDeletion=1 setting in Varconf.dat?

I found the same settings in a V11 Up33 project where the customer complains to loose some tags (in the specific case he's using the import-at-startup always ticked, so sound strange!).

Thankyou!

Hello! This secret has been revealed by Dominique & Jacques ! :cheer:

I share his reply in case it will be useful for someone:

To avoid some crashes when you modify the configuration of variables, these variables are not really deleted. The problem is this technique generate memory leak, and the memory can be very important if you import variables.

So with Jacques, we added this option specially for configuration station to be able to do many modifications of variable via generic import. Use this option in station which run in exploitation is very risky.

So, for runtime stations is better to keep CompleteVariableDeletion=0

Hope it helps and... thankyou Dominique for this clarification!
