This envvar is still used and is documented correctly in ENVIRONMENT.txt in the trunk and in 2.6. It works differently under 2.6/Trunk than it does under 2.5, so the (non)-description is probably still valid for 2.5. - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "jeffrey" <jeffrey@cuemedia.com> To: "jeffrey" <jeffrey@cuemedia.com> Cc: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] understanding FORCE_PRODUCT_LOAD
Ack! I just noticed that this was done a few weeks ago in CVS and
should
be in 2.6 (I imagine). But there's still a FORCE_PRODUCT_RELOAD listing at the bottom of ENVIRONMENT.txt. Can this be removed? Or is there an unknown FORCE_PRODUCT_RELOAD environment variable in use?

and back again morning trying to update a Zope 2.3.3 site (as ZEO client) to be a Zope 2.5.1 site (including installation of some new products), I finally re-discovered the magic of FORCE_PRODUCT_LOAD environment variable.
The only reason I even remembered this variable existed was because of Chris McDonough mentioning it a long long time ago (before the new Zope Corp offices).
Not only is it undocumented, it's undocumented incorrectly ;). At the end of doc/ENVIRON.txt, it's listed as FORCE_PRODUCT_RELOAD with the wording "unknown (Shane's Refresh product ???)".
If someone with a deeper understanding of what this environment variable does - and of the correct times to use it - I'm sure there are other people it would help. I'd document it myself, but I don't want to spread more misinformation. I've guessed at what it does - I believe it's forcing a write to ZEO of the currently installed disk products running at the client side - but that's the nearest I could figure out.
