Summary
Changes of master.config after stopping the service seem not reflected and getting reverted on the next start up.
Question
I have changed some master.config lines however my changes seem not reflected and getting reverted on the next start up. What extra steps do we need under such conditions?
Answer
SiteScope stores master.config information not just in master.config text file but also within __masterConfig persistency object.
When some changes are not reflected automatically, one may need edit both places to make them consistent when the service is stopped.
a. Edit <SiteScope installation>\groups\master.config using any text editor.
b. Edit persistency using <SiteScope installation>\bin\PersistencyViewer.bat
