Recording Service may Fail when Current Working Directory in c:\\Program Files
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|RECS| will try to write to its database in the current working
directory.  If it does not have permissions to write there, it will fail with
a confusing error:

.. code-block:: bash

    [/recording_services/RecorderService|START|/storage|CREATE] 
     create_connection:!SQLite - failed to open database file; sqlite 
     returned error: out of memory
    [SQLite return code = 7]
    [File = metadata]

This happens most commonly when running the application from within
``c:\\Program Files`` on Windows systems. You can work around this by running
|RECS| from a command prompt in a directory where you have
write permissions.

Some tags in the XML configuration must be grouped in a strict order
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The XML validator tools |RECS| uses to validate XML configuration files adhere
to the XML 1.0 specification, which doesn't offer a way of defining collections
of unordered tags that are both bounded and unbounded in occurrences.

This limitation is no longer present in XML 1.1. However, there are no C or C++
validators compliant with the XML 1.1 specification at the time of writing.
