SDP-720
Punted
Allow the setting of server configuration in the db.config table.
At present, the SDP stores settings in the environment 'outside' the database, and scripts like 'verify_sdp' rejects any in-database settings, stating things like this:
Note: P4JOURNAL must be defined as a shell environment variable and must not set in db.config.
It is increasingly common to define the configuration in the database rather than in the environment or with 'override' flags like '-J' in this case, as this helps ensure the server is started with the same parameters each time.
Having to reconfigure a working Helix Core Server settings to allow the switch to SDP is a problem.
