Changes in the node configuration file¶
This section provides information to help you identify changes in the configuration file depending on the node version.
Warning
If you are updating a node version, you must also update the node configuration file. The node will not run without updating the configuration file!
Changes in the node configuration file of the 1.5.0 version¶
Due to realization of the CFT consensus algorithm and the sender role, the following sections of the node configuration file have been changed:
Blockchain section
The cft consensus type has been added for the consensus block, as well as two parameters needed for validation of blocks:
max-validators- maximal number of validators defined for a definite voting round.finalization-timeout- time period, during which a miner waits for finalization of the last block (in seconds).
Genesis section
For explicit definition of a genesis version being in use, the
versionparameter has been added. The version 1 is configured by default, the version 2 is used for enabling of thesenderrole.The
sender-role-enabledparameter has been added for enabling of thesenderrole. In order to enable the role, typetrueas the parameter value, for desabling typefalse.
Attention
The sender role is defined in the genesis block. That is why it will work only for new networks built on the platform version not earlier than 1.5.0.
Changes in the node configuration file of the 1.4.0 version¶
The database for storing the state inside the node has changed, now RockDB is used instead of LevelDB. If you upgrade to release 1.4.0, you can’t roll back. Database migration occurs automatically when switching to release 1.4.0 and may take a long time. If you have several nodes in the network, then the nodes must be updated strictly sequentially! It is recommended to make a backup copy of the old database.
api section
The rest-api section was renamed to the api section. The section now includes settings for the REST API and gRPC interface.
privacy section
The following changes were added to the section:
The
cleanerblock was addedS3 Minio option was added for the data storage
Changes in the node configuration file of the 1.2.2 version¶
Blockchain section
The Mainnet blockchain section needs to be changed instead of full settings to this one:
blockchain.type = MAINNET
Warning
If the node, which is connected to the Mainnet, has old blockchain section settings, it will fork!
The blockchain section corresponds to individual settings in all other cases.
Changes in the node configuration file of the 1.2.0 version¶
docker-engine section
In the section docker-engine added parameter grpc-server, responsible for setting up gRPC server to work docker contracts with gRPC API:
grpc-server {
# gRPC server port
port = 6865
# Optional node host
# host = “192.168.65.2”
}
