Creating a patch config file for Rainbow.SFS.SerializationFolderPathMaxLength

Question

How can I add a patch file for Rainbow.Config? Is there a naming convention that I need to follow?

I need to modify below setting, but don't want to change the main Rainbow.Config file.

<setting name="Rainbow.SFS.SerializationFolderPathMaxLength" value="150" />

Please suggest.

Answer 1

Create a patch file; z.Rainbow.config.

<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" xmlns:set="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/set/">
    <sitecore>
      <settings>
        <setting name="Rainbow.SFS.SerializationFolderPathMaxLength" set:value="150" />
      </settings>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

Answer 2

Write your patch file as below:

<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/">
    <sitecore>
        <settings>
           <setting name="Rainbow.SFS.SerializationFolderPathMaxLength" set:value="150" />
       </settings>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

When you will publish your patch file it will update the value. You can check in showconfig.aspx. Thanks.

Sitecore Patch functionality can resolve your problem. Patch file will replace your setting. Below are the example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <sitecore>
    <settings>
      <setting name="Rainbow.SFS.SerializationFolderPathMaxLength">
        <patch:attribute name="value">150</patch:attribute>
      </setting>
    </settings>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>
