Rule Deployment to simultaneously show in 2 RES Instances in different datacenters

We are needing to know or determine if this capability is a new feature and will need evaluation or if this already exists with some type of implementation. Client has the following set up regarding the option of having 2 data centers (1 in DFW, and other in SA) connected to one SQL Server database in their ODM environment on Kubernetes. Client mentions that they deploy rules/rulesets from DC into RES. Depending on which RES data center they deploy to, the other datacenter is able to pick up the changes in their RES log, but its delayed. Client is wanting to obtain an almost 1 to 1 sync in which the logs show the deployment at the same times on both datacenter RES consoles. Client is only able to get the respective datacenter RES console to pick up the latest changes if they restart their kPods.

    The request in this Idea is not clear and there's been no further details shared. I need to update this Idea accordingly. We can resume its review later on, if needed.

    Thank you for your understanding

    Hello,

    There is currently no plan to modify or extend the way ODM deployments are managed.A ruleApp (with 1 or more rulesets) can be directly deployed from DC to one or more RES servers. But there is no guarantee that there will be an "almost 1-1 sync" on the deployment times shown in the 2 RES Console. It should be very close though.

    I'm not sure I understand some aspects of the description:

    • "...having 2 data centers (1 in DFW, and other in SA) connected to one SQL Server database in their ODM environment on Kubernetes." Do you mean that there is only one DB, with some replication across the 2 data centers ?

    • "Client is only able to get the respective datacenter RES console to pick up the latest changes if they restart their kPods." Can you clarify the issue / limitation ?

    Thank you,
