Deployment Agent - mismatch in live data source

Question

We have just started building a store front application, we just need FileAsset deployments (Targeters) for now. No need of Repository Asset deployment. We have setup a Master/Slave configuration for the file asset deployment. Have followed the document for Master/Slave & have layered files accordingly.
However, in the DeploymentAgent component we see mis-match in live data store name of switchable data stores : 'DataSourceB' != 'DataSourceA' error due to which the agents show up in error state in BCC. We even executed prepareSwitch & performSwitch from /atg/epub/file/ConfigFileSystem, but it did not work. Are we missing some configuration here?

Answer 1

We found the problem - it was a bug in the code wherein one of the modules had incorrectly layered Initial.properties, it just had entries as initialServices=
due to which all the other services were ignored (In our case, Publishing agent's initialServices - which starts up the ConfigFileSystem)
However, we are still not able to thoroughly figure out why it worked in lower environments (BCC & Store Front in same network) & not on production like environment(BCC & Store Front in different network). Is it that on a same network - BCC can start off the components(if in same network) in Store Front if they are not already started?
