SQL Developer - Auto-Update, Migration, and Usage Tracking

4149412Jan 17 2020

Hi there,

I've searched here and Google and can't seem to find an answer to my questions.

First, the base operating system is CentOS and I am installing the latest SQL Developer v19.2.1.247.2212.

I am trying to prevent the Auto-Updater and Usage Tracking prompts from firing at initial launch (we are deploying SQL Developer, attempting to make it smooth for the end user).

Some information I found online talks about two flags in the sqldeveloper.conf:

AddVMOption -Dide.cfu.autoskip=true

AddVMOption -nonag

The ide.cfu.autoskip option works perfectly.

With -nonag enabled as-shown, the UI will not launch. Attempting launch from a command line results in the following error:

Unrecognized option: -nonag

Launching manually from the command line using -nonag as a parameter doesn't show the error, but the UI launches and still bugs us about the usage tracking.

I suspect the options may have changed from older versions, but I am struggling to find documentation on what options are available. My apologies if I'm missing something here.

In digging around the configuration files, I did find some references to other available options in a line of the ide.conf:

AddVMOption -Doracle.ide.IdeFrameworkCommandLineOptions=-clean,-console,-debugmode,-migrate,-migrate:,-nomigrate,-nonag,-nondebugmode,-noreopen,-nosplash,-role:,-su

I've tried adding AddVMOption -nomigrate and -nosplash with similar results as above.

I would also like to prevent the migration dialog box (this is an upgrade installation), so I'm hopeful that once I can cross the -nonag bridge, I'll do the same thing with -nomigrate. :-)

Appreciate any help anyone can provide with this admittedly low-priority issue.

Thanks again.

-Todd
