The "Changing the sync function" section is out of date — it was written for an earlier version of SG, in which it would do the equivalent of _resync on launch when it detected a change in the sync function from the previous launch. (I've just filed an issue against the docs to get this fixed.) > I notice now that when I change the sync function and restart the server that > there's a little blurb outputted into the error log.

Yes; it can take a long time to resync and the gateway isn't available to serve any requests during that time. And some sync function changes won't affect existing documents, making that unnecessary. So we decided to put the developer in charge of whether to resync or not. > On a related note, when one changes the sync function using the Admin UI, is > it correct to assume that the new sync function is used while the server is > running and that the server reverts back to the sync function given in > config.json upon restart? The gateway never writes to the config file. It's strictly read-only. Therefore any changes to the sync function (or other database configuration) made at runtime will never be persistent across launches. You have to update the config file correspondingly. —Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
