Hi all, After 2 weeks of waiting on Daycare to respond, I’m reaching out here, as I think this is more Apache Sling related than AEM specific.
I’m trying to successfully make an AEM primary author from a cold standby author, but it fails. It fails because all our OSGi components with config bound to the ‘author’ runmode doesn’t get installed after switching runmode. I looked at the source code, but it seems there is no way to trigger the JcrInstaller to re-initialize all OSGi config stored in the repository. Is there any way to do that? A more detailed explanation of our process: You start by creating a standby author instance from a primary instance (runmode “author” is active). The OSGi configuration for our components is stored in sling:OsgiConfig nodes in the JCR below “config.author” folders. It is properly installed by the JCR Installer and the config files can be found in the launchpad/config folder on disk. We shut down the instance, and remove all our OSGi config from the launchpad/config folder on disk. We do that to avoid our components getting active in the standby runmode as this is not wanted. The OSGi config stored in the launchpad/config folder on disk is used, not the OSGi config from the JCR. I think this is *issue (1)*. We start the instance with runmode “standby”. All is fine, AEM is acting as a standby instance, and our components are not active. We restart the instance, but now give it the runmode “author” again. We would expect all OSGi configuration from the sling:OsgiConfig nodes below “config.author” folders would become installed by the OSGi framework, but in fact, it does not. This is *issue (2)*. AEM acts as an author instance again, but all our components are not active because they don’t have any OSGi config (launchpad/config is empty). How can I fix this? Or is this a situation Apache Sling can’t handle?
