Installation problems / On permissions, the 'SAVE_PERMISSIONS_IN_BACKGROUND' setting, and performance
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:37:27 pm »
In Feng Office 2.3.2 a new (very cool) feature was added.
Permissions can now be configured to be save on background.
This feature provides a significant performance boost - specially for large-size installations.
Why was this improvement necessary?
Because in larger installations, permission changes could mean that a lot of DB records had to be updated. Sometimes changing a users's permissions or changing a workspace or project permissions could take a long time.
So this powerful feature was added, allowing administrators to make these changes and keep on working, while the system would save the permissions "in the background", with a separate process.
More on this setting can be found here.
Required considerations
Not all servers can handle this option. For starters, your server needs to enable the 'exec' php function.
So we now (Feng Office 3.0) changed this setting to not be enabled by default for new installations.
This means that people will have fewer obstacles when installing a new Feng Office system. But administrators should be aware of this setting now, and enable it once the installation grows large enough and permission changes start to take a big impact on system performance.
