Nuke and Pave JSS

[hkim]

For dev purposes, I'd like to know what people do to nuke and pave JSS (OS X, Linux, Windows) so you end up in a state after initial installation.

I roll back to a snapshot on my VM that was taken directly after installation.

Is the desired result an empty database and is this purely for your development environment?

[hkim]

Essentially yes. So I can stop tomcat, delete the jamfsoftware mysql database, recreate it, start tomcat, and it should bring me back to square one?

[bentoms]

@hkim, yep. That's what I'd do.

[jalatman]

I would agree with Ben. Shouldn't be a problem to either nuke the database or create a new slice and link it to the database.xml. If you wanted to have different versions of the JSS to test with for your development environment you could link up slices to additional web apps (context).

@hkim
Yeah that's the way to go if you're not looking to change versions of the JSS.
