Hello Paul
Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for. However, I
have a couple of questions/comments, after going through some of the
items mentioned in the document. Generally speaking many changes I
tried did not trigger restart required message.
I cannot trigger restart required modifying HTTP Service in v3.1. I
tried enabling access logging and limiting access log files for a
standalone instance but that does not trigger restart required message
for that instance (neither in Admin GUI nor CLI). I tried enabling
access logging for a standalone instance in v2.1.1, but that didn't
trigger restart required either. Thus, what elements of HTTP Service
need to be modified to trigger restart required?
Documentation mentions that "Managing HTTP, JMS, IIOP, JNDI services"
should trigger restart required. JNDI is under Resources, hence this
message is misleading (HTTP, JMS, IIOP Services are under configuration).
Impact of Configuration Changes document also mentions that the
following will require server restart: "Creating or deleting resources
(Exception: Some JDBC, JMS, or connector resources do not require
restart.)". This is quite vague, but I created a JNDI Custom Resource
in v3.1 and v2.1.1 to be sure, yet restart required message did not show
up neither in Admin GUI nor CLI.
Modifying "transaction-support" under "connector connection pool" is
listed as requiring server restart. I created a connector connection
pool with transaction support set to LocalTransaction. I then changed
transaction support entry and saved it, yet restart was still not
required... Tried it in v2.1.1 and behaviour was the same - no restart
required when modifying transaction support. Looks like documentation
needs to be updated here? Could someone confirm please? I have not
tested all the elements mentioned in the document yet...
Thanks
Lidia
