Re: recovery.conf not getting changed to recovery.done after PITR

Hi Rajni,

Thanks for pointing it out.

I tried after adding recovery_target_action = promote in recovery.conf and it seems to be working fine.

Regards,

Amit

Hello Amit,

Recovery.conf changes to recovery.done once you stop the recovery on replica and promote it as standalone. It is clear from your logs that replica is still in recovery  i.e replication is still active.

If you touch the recovery.conf then it will rename to recovery.done i.e no replication in place and both the servers are standalone.

What is your requirement here, PIT recovery or promoting replica as master?

Regards,

Rajni

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for responding.

I am using following two parameters in recovery.conf

restore_command = 'cp /archive/%f %p'
recovery_target_time = '2018-09-07 03:25:46'

postgresql.conf has following configurations. Other options are commented out.
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432
max_connections = 100
shared_buffers = 128MB
dynamic_shared_memory_type = posix
wal_level = replica
archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /archive/%f'
log_destination = 'stderr'
logging_collector =on
log_timezone = 'US/Eastern'
datestyle = 'iso, mdy'
timezone ='US/Eastern'
lc_messages = 'en_US.UTF-8'
lc_monetary ='en_US.UTF-8'
lc_numeric = 'en_US.UTF-8'
lc_time = 'en_US.UTF-8'
default_text_search_config = 'pg_catalog.english'

Adding the logs details as well.
