Download procmon[1], run it and filter for process name qgis(-dev)-bin.exe and try a connection using a postgresql service. QGIS (or better put libpq linked into it) will then look for .pg_service.conf in what seems to be %APPDATA%\postgresql. On second thought the unix file ending thing might be due to the fact that we set the runtime library to binary mode, which libpq might not expect. Maybe browser doesn't do that.

It works! you saved me again Jürgen! I'm not totally clear yet on how to use procmon for that.. (just another tip?)

The file is called .pg_service.conf - and apparently libpq expects it to be in unix format (ie. only LF as line ending and not CRLF) Jürgen -- Jürgen E.

I tried putting a pg_service.conf file in AppData/postgres dir, or on a location defined by environnement variable with no success. The content seems ok , but client (pgadmin, qgis) do not locate that file correctly. Do you have any hint for us? Pg doc is light, and the web is almost totally empty on that.

Re: [Qgis-developer] python function to upgrade qgs datasources?
Great, thanks Andrea, I knew that system coming from Oracle, but we didn't find much doc on it so we did not focused a lot. Next migration will upgrade to using services for sure.. By now, I still have to deal with preexisting documents. switch as been done now, iut works anyway ;) let's us materialized views and foreign data wrappers ! -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/python-function-to-upgrade-qgs-datasources-tp5149022p5149037.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
Re: [Qgis-developer] python function to upgrade qgs datasources?
Hi Régis, I can't help you with the Python script to process your files, but I have a suggestion: Use a PostgreSQL service instead of hard-coded IP addresses, names or aliases. In such a scenario you can easily change between a production and test server and more easily migrate to a new machine. Also, on a laptop you can point the service to localhost (for mobile laptops) and within your organizations LAN you can point to the production server. All without touching the .qgs project file. We in Uster are using PostgreSQL service names for several years now and I like them. Unfortunately the concept of PostgreSQL services is not very well-known among the PostgreSQL users.

[Qgis-developer] python function to upgrade qgs datasources?
Hi All, We are preparing a great postgres migration here, and to make it transparent, we have given virtual aliases to our server. User's QGS file refer today to hard coded IP or aliases (172.16.9.147 or vslin147). We have been migrating most qgs using bash script with grep and sed, but we seem to touch the limits of such approaches (error handling, disconnected disks.. editions pending ., some are zipped ) My question, do you think it is possible to have a python function (plugin or user function), that will catch qgs before loading it, and that will substitute the host with the new value, before qgis loads the datasource ? Any idea?
