Jonathan,
I've attached my controller.xml and vdb.xml files. When I quit the controller,
I did use an O/S kill command (I used ctrl-c in Windows) rather than using the
admin console to shut down. Might that have had something to do with it? I've
seen this multiple times.
If you ctrl-c the controller, you will lose consistency between the
backends but as you don't have a recovery log configured anyway, you
probably don't care that much.
Your controller config file says:
<VirtualDatabase configFile="vdb.xml" virtualDatabaseName="VDATABASE"
autoEnableBackends="true" />
Make sure you don't have any other file named vdb.xml in a jar file or
somewhere else in the controller classpath that could be loaded before
the file you expect. A good test is to make a syntax error in your
config file and see if it still loads. If it does then it's not reading
the file you think it should!
Regarding the virtual database configuration:
<DatabaseBackend name="primary" driver="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" driverPath="..\..\..\DB\lib"
url="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE"
connectionTestStatement="values 1">
<DatabaseBackend name="backup" driver="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" driverPath="..\..\..\DB\lib"
url="jdbc:derby://remotehost:1527/DATABASE"
connectionTestStatement="values 1">
It is usually a bad idea to use localhost and you should use the public
IP address of the machine instead. Now make sure that your name
resolution properly resolves the names to the machines you expect to
point to. I am not sure what you expect the controller to do and what is
the behavior you see. Console output on the controller and backend
states (commands like 'show backend *') would help.
Thanks for the feedback,
Emmanuel

Subject: Re: [Sequoia] Changes to config not loaded
Hi Jonathan,
Sequoia does not persist any configuration information when the
controller is stopped. You are probably pointing to a configuration file
which is not the one you changed because there is no way for Sequoia to
remember the old configuration.
Be careful that usually, the first file matching the name that is found
in the classpath is used unless you specify an absolute path from the
console. Let us know how you exactly load your configuration file so
that we can make sure there is no bug in the config loading mechanism.
Thanks for your feedback,
Emmanuel
I was running the controller and doing some tests and wanted to change
the backend I was connected to. So I stopped the controller and
changed the URL in my virtual database config file. I then started the
controller back up and it said it was loading the virtual DB config,
but then it tried to connect to the original backend. It didn't load
my changes.
I'm using Sequoia 2.10.10. I have the controller auto-enable the backends.
Is this a known problem? What do I have to do to ensure it refreshes
the config?
