I am facing the issue that, even when external RDBMS is configured in repository.xml, the "repository" directory is still created in the file system and its size is increasing. So when external RDBMS is configured then there shouldn't be anything created/written in FileSystem. All the data (except for the indexes) should go to the external RDBMS (in my case Oracle 11). What I assume is that only the indexes get created in the file system, but this is not correct. I followed the following steps to check this, 1. I have two Guvnor instances (Guvnor A, Guvnor B) pointing to the same database (db_Oracle11) 2. Start 'Guvnor A' and generate repository.xml for db_oracle11. Also configure <DataStore> in repository.xml i. Persistence managers tested are as follows a. org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.OraclePersistenceManager b. org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.pool.OraclePersistenceManager ii. <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.db.OracleFileSystem"> 3. copy paste the generated configs in repository.xml of 'Guvnor A' and 'Guvnor B'. 4. Re-Start 'Guvnor A'. 'Guvnor B' is not started. Only 'Guvnor A' is started. 5. Create and Import assets in 'Guvnor A' using guvnor web interface. These should be saved in db_Oracle11. 6. Now start 'Guvnor B'. And check all assets created/imported in 'Guvnor A' should be visible in 'Guvnor B', as both the Guvnors have the same database. 7. Only packages of 'Guvnor A' are visible in 'Guvnor B'. But assets inside the packages are not available. Repository.xml is attached. I have also posted the same in the following thread. https://community.jboss.org/thread/230419 repository-primary_server.xml <http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n4025303/repository-primary_server... repository-secondary_server.xml <http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n4025303/repository-secondary_serv... workspace.xml <http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n4025303/workspace.xml> -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Guvnor-assets-storinf-in-DB-as-well-as-...
