Description

Confd job general_settings is used to set some of properties that don’t have a dedicated ConfD job (see link).

Previously it could be used to modify existing settings in EXAConf, but adding a new setting (e.g. SearchDomains) that was not already in EXAConf wouldn’t work.

Workaround

Add settings directly to the EXAConf file.
This should be done only under supervision of Exasol Support.

Fix

This has been fixed: general_settings now correctly adds new entries to EXAConf as requested by the user.
