Summary
Added new read channel to a document type, but unable to pull those documents using the new channel
Currently, I have a document type (known as “oiq”) that is set to 3 pre-existing channels. (e.g. “root”, branch, branch/2017)
I want to add both pre-existing oiq documents and future oiq documents to a new 4th channel (e.g. branch/oiq). Hence, I made the edits on my server using a servlet call, but the documents aren’t being pulled despite changing the channels on the app side. (e.g. Arrays.asList(“branch/oiq”); )
Alternatively, I tried renaming one of the old read channels to something else (e.g. branch/2017 to branch/000), but I was unable to pull those documents using the new channel of branch/000 too. Strangely enough, branch/2017 still works despite the renaming.
Am I missing a vital process here to get things working?
I have bucket shadowing enabled so I’m not sure if this is a side effect from that.
This is my sync gateway config file.
