Hi Dojo,

We had an issue recently where an element was created again by DataAPI and I wanted to check a couple of things.

Firstly, is it possible to specify in DataAPI which DMA the elements get created on? Perhaps using appsettings.custom.json?

We had a situation where we have elements hosted on DMA1 that are created by dataAPI, and during a recent upgrade DMA3 came up first while DMA1 was still starting up, DMA3 therefore created the elements on itself as it didn't know they were already on DMA1.

Is there a way to prevent this at all? This doesn't seem like ideal behaviour. As a workaround we will have to be a bit more precise with failovers and reboots, and perhaps stop the DataAPI service on certain DMAs to prevent them creating duplicates. Does this sound feasible?

In an ideal world we would love to be able to specify which DMA should host a DataAPI element, is it possible to raise this a feature request please?

Thanks, Carl
