Loading the configurations at the startup of server with xml backup rather than cdb files

[cohult]

Hi,

There is probably some some issue with your XML file. What does your confd.log / devel.log say?

From the ConfD UG:

/confdConfig/cdb/dbDir (string)
dbDir is the directory on disk which CDB use for its storage and any temporary files being used.
It is also the directory where CDB searches for initialization files.

/confdConfig/cdb/initPath
The initPath can contain any number of <dir> items, which should be directories. When CDB first starts it will first look in these directories for initialization files.
The directories will be searched in the order they are listed, lastly the dbDir is searched.
