Editing the Configuration of an Existing Server
If you edit the configuration of an existing ("live") server and attempt to reload its configuration, the reload operation will fail. However, you can successfully edit an existing server's configuration by following these steps:
1. Remove the server by following the steps in
Removing an Existing Server . Instead of deleting the server's <server> block, you can comment it out.
2. Edit the server's <server> block with the changed values.
3. Add (or uncomment) the edited <server> block.
4. In the TMC's Change Server Topology panel, click Reload. A message appears with the result of the reload operation.
Note: To be able to edit the configuration of an existing server, all clients must load their configuration from the Terracotta Server Array. Clients that load configuration from another source will fail to remain connected to the TSA due to a configuration mismatch.
