SDP-665
Suspended
When we run upgrade.sh the script will output errors due to not having certain configurables set:
Error: No value defined for configurable [any:journalPrefix].
Error: No value defined for configurable [any:server.depot.root].
Should these really be checked at the 'any' level? Maybe we're unique, but we set these on a per-instance basis because the path names contain the instance names. E.g. /p4/sdptest/depots or /p4/sdptest-backup/depots.
Looking at //guest/perforce_software/sdp/dev/Server/setup/configure_new_server.sh it does appear to set these at the 'any' level, but that is potentially problematic down the road. E.g. if those paths aren't accessible in a multi-OS environment (having server.depot.root=z:\depot_root then bringing up an instance on Linux).

Both server.depot.root and journalPrefix should be set at the 'any' level, as default values.
They can be overridden with ServerID-specific values when needed, as per your examples. But we still recommend setting up 'any' for those 2 configurables, as the /p4/N/depots and /p4/N/checkpoints/p4_N values are the respective defaults based on the standards. Overrides are certainly OK when needed, e.g. for a mult-OS environment.
