It has no pre-req for ReStore but the package that needs to access the database does have a prereq for SSWRestore for Dolphin. Maybe I should add a reference to ReStore at the web level (swazoo) since it is the root package?

Hi John,

I load packages manually. Out of my packages, only on requires ReStore as a prerequisite. ReStore package is loaded automatically based on a reference to ReStore. Maybe I should load ReStore prior to loading my packages? On another note, I added debug code that writes out events to a log file when a request take place. The point of failure is when the object broker attempts to run a query.

ObjectBroker>>getUsers: aSearchRequest
| allUsers aUser |
self writeLogFile: 'Reached Object Broker Layer, Loading Customer from Database...' .
allUsers := [ self userClass storedInstances ] on: Error do: [:error | self writeLogFile: 'Error Loading Users from Database' ].
allUsers isNil
ifTrue: [
self writeLogFile: 'Failed to load Users from Database'.
^nil ]
ifFalse: [ self writeLogFile: 'Object Broker Successfully Loaded SSWDBInstancesCollection from Database' ].
aUser := [ allUsers detect: [:each | each userName = (aSearchRequest at: 'userName') ] ] on: Error do: [:error | self writeLogFile: 'Error Querying Collection' ].
^aUser

The detect: is where the error occurs based on my output file. allUsers is the SSWDBInstancesCollection which is in the SSW ReStore Querying package and in the deployed image. Only thing I can think of at this point is that I have a database version issue. I'm running MySQL 5.7 and the Connector ODBC is 8.0. Should I be using a different version of MySQL used/tested with ReStore?

Thanks
