Odd separated share problem

[t16]

Hi,

I have a main Alfresco repository running, with its own share… The share part soon to be deleted off, as there are TWO web share front ends running on separate boxes behind a load balancer…


Now… After applying the license, the main Alfresco box shows licensed to us at the bottom in its share page, but the two web front ends do not and still show trial user.

I realise this may be because I do not have the main Alfresco box Hazelcast enabled with the other two, but it cant be shortly as it will not be running share at all..

What implications does this have going forward?


Does this mean that I should make any config changes with all three share front ends enabled until the last minute then turn share off on the main server?

What if I had never installed share on the main box then? How would the two web share front ends have ever got this licensing box "change" from the main server?!

Help, I am confused, and worried what else might be out of "sync"

If any knowledgable people understand what might be going on, please let me know!!

thanks

Its probably just a caching issue.  (The license info is cached in a simple and stupid manner, rather than clever and complicated.)  At some point you will restart the web front ends and it will be O.K.

Its probably also worth pointing out that the license caching stuff is a special case and separate from the rest of the data cached by share/surf.

Thanks mrogers.

You really know your stuff, restarting the share app did indeed update the license status at the bottom!
