Hi, I've been trying to set up a transactor. I am using dynamo-db, tried the ensure-transactor command, and an EC2 instance called DatomicTestTransactor keeps being created, started, stopped, and terminated. It happens over and over (like a new instance every 5 mins ) until I remove the AIM roles that datomic created. That doesn't seem right to me -- though i'm not sure.

jdkealy21:06:41

anyways, i should formally ask a question... Is this desired behavior or is this a sign that there's something wrong with my setup

marshall21:06:02

The ensure-transactor script should create dynamo db tables, roles, etc.

marshall21:06:07

but not actually start a transactor

jdkealy21:06:41

yes. i started with that. what would be creating DatomicTestTransactor then ?

jdkealy21:06:08

that's useful info, i'll scratch everything and try again

marshall21:06:14

I don’t believe a transactor will be started until you get to the create-cf-stack step

marshall21:06:23

(assuming you’re using the included CF process)

jdkealy: sounds precisely like something i ran into as well.

bvulpes23:06:51

i 'just' scripted the provisioning of transactors.

jdkealy23:06:38

cool.. i just started from scratch and no ec2 instance was launched. i think i was tinkering around and overwrote the original properties file and didn't realize it
