Hi, I configured an external RDBMS (Oracle) as the data store for Guvnor ( on tomcat 6.0.35) - new repository.xml etc. Thinks look good .. guvnor launched ok ... entered & validated rules etc ... Now I want to verify that the rules are stored on the db. ( VERSIONING_* files etc) as opposed to the default flat files under the tomcat install dir. Basically I'm not sure of the best way to do this. The db tables contain blobs so wont "see" anything there! Using Guvnor, I edited a test. This updated data in the datastore directory (C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin\repository\repository\datastore). Is this correct behaviour? If the external DB is used, on tomcat startup, is a "copy" of everything sent to bin/repository? I deleted the repository dir under tomcat bin & restarted tomcat. I hoped that the repository would be rebuilt from the db tables data but this did not happen. So can anyone advise? thanks in advance, Kevin -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Guvnor-verify-that-external-RDBMS-is-be...
