We did not purposely delete the records. But we were dealing with a setup where the db was "out-of-sync" with memory. The reason I deleted them during our tests was to replicate the issue we had in production. 
The param we enabled fixed the issue within 30minutes by inserted when an update failed.

You should not delete the record only from database via a db client There is a rpc command to delete it, which will take care of removing it from memory as well as from database (depending on the db_mode module parameter for usrloc).

The record we added via RPC was first creating a new contact (and inserting into the db), this was working fine. But we found that if we cleared the database, any "updates" would fail. Adding that parameter caused the record to get inserted if an update failed (re-register)

Can you dump the record after you add it over rpc and send it over to mailing list to see what attributes it has?

resolution update -- 
we found that setting 
`modparam("usrloc", "db_check_update", 1)`

fix the issue by inserting missing rows on re-reg

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
RPC flush is not setting the flag, but im not sure that is where the issue is, as I stated, we are not setting any memory-only flags with save()

But here is the flush function (FL_MEM not set)

static void ul_rpc_flush(rpc_t* rpc, void* ctx)
{
synchronize_all_udomains(0, 1);
return;
}

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
We have tried using these flags:

save("location")
save("location", "0x00")
save("location", "0x04")

And still memory does not get flushed to DB.
I will test the RPC command.
Thanks,

Hello,

that flag is used to mark a contact for storage only in memory. The save() function has a parameter with flags where this kind of storage can be set. Can you check the RPC command is setting this flag?

Cheers,
Daniel

following up here
i found if we comment out a single line of code, kamcmd ul.flush works

here is the git diff

I don't quite understand the logic in that code.
Does anyone have an idea of why `        if (_c->flags & FL_MEM) {`   returns?

Hello,
we've noticed that the usrloc module does not "sync" all the records from memory into the database.
I use a bash script to generate in-memory AoRs (http://paste.debian.net/plain/908521)
then i perform
kamcmd ul.flush 
and no records are inserted.
We have tried various usrloc parameters but none seem to work
Here is our basic setup

# ----- usrloc params -----
modparam("usrloc", "db_url", DBURL)
modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 2)
modparam("usrloc", "use_domain", 1)
modparam("usrloc", "timer_interval", 120)
modparam("usrloc", "timer_procs", 4)

We are using postgresql.
are we missing something?

Thanks
