OD 6.0 - Full FTP Example

Gregg Faus

Could someone post a full example of a deployment config and FTP adapter config that works? I'm been beating myself all day trying to get this thing working. Here is what I've done.

1) Set up FTP site on a target server (pidev02) that already has OD installed.

2) Created deployment config (see attachment ftp_test.xml)

3) Created FTP adapter config (see ftp_config.cfg) and placed in c:\temp as specified in parameter attribute

4) Ran deployment and it failed. I've tried stopping the OD service on the target server just to make sure FTP connection is being attempted.

To me, the deployment still tries to use the OD service even though the config uses the FTP adapter. The relevant portions of the logs are listed below:

OD Service Started

OD Service Stopped

Base: Exceeded all 3 retries to get a connection with the target OpenDeploy host.
Failed creating socket.

So based on my configs, why isn't the adapter being used?

Thanks.

I think the problem is that the OD and FTP targets are the same in your configs ("pidev02").

Think of a deployment with a delivery adapter as a multi-tiered deployment:

Source Base Server --> Target Base Server --> FTP target

The source and target Base Servers can be the same physical instance (loopback deployment). The target Base Server will then spin up the adapter and FTP the manifest of files it received. No OD software needs to be installed on the FTP target host.
