Is Dynamic VDB support available in Teiid 8.0 yet?

The Alpha1 announcement says this feature is not supported yet.

Thanks

Srini,

If you can download the AS7 nightly from https://community.jboss.org/thread/167590 and make couple minor modifications to the standalone-teiid.xml file then it will work. Otherwise we need to wait until AS 7.1.0-Final is released.

Ramesh,

Thanks for your response. 

Yes, I can download AS7 nightly build. 

What changes do I have to make to the standalone-teiid.xml file?

Thanks

Srini,

I do not remember exactly as they were not Teiid related changes, they were AS7 specific. I believe AS7 removed an attribute on the some cache/thread element. You will see error message when you start, simply edit the standalone-teiid.xml and remove those (or you can compare with standalone.xml file) and re-start.

We are getting ready release 8.0-alpha2 in next day or two, after that I will move the Teiid trunk to match AS7 nightly, then you will the edited configuration file.

Ramesh,

I updated the standalone-teiid.xml based on standalone.xml and fixed the startup issues.  Some warnings remain -but I am ignoring them for now.

I am also able to deploy vdbs and they are starting up fine.

How do I deploy dynamic vdbs?  Is it sufficient to copy the <name>-vdb.xml file into the deployments folder?  Should I create a <name>-vdb.xml.dodeply?

Thanks

Srini,

I think so. You need to create the ".dodeploy" marker file when copying into the "<jboss-as>/standalone/deployments" directory. There is configuration option to turn this off, check out the readme file in that directory. My favorite way is deploying using CLI. For it run

./jboss-admin.sh
connect
deploy /path/to/<name>-vdb.xml

There are variety options you can do with CLI.
