Issue

  • We have two Liferay instances that use one database. If we work with Liferay instance 1 - import LAR file or make some changes in content (change a webcontent, create new page, upload an image etc) - will Liferay instance 2 automatically load these changes immediately, or do we need to perform some additional actions like caches reload?

Environment

  • DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • If the instances share the same database, then the changes should apply to every instance, it is just needed to refresh the browser to see them. In a usual configuration where the database is shared - a clustered environment for example - the changes made on one instance should apply automatically to the other instances.
