QUESTION TO EMC SUPPORT
-----------------------------------------------------
When developing with several developers on a single repository.
Suppose Developer 1, deploying the xCP 2.2 configuration from xCP Designer as Deployment Method=Incremental and Data Policy=Minimal.
Now after sometime, Developer 2 deploying the xCP 2.2 Configuration from xCP Designer as Deployment Method=Incremental and Data Policy=Minimal.
Then from Docbase all the Artifacts got removed for Developer 1 that has been deployed few hours ago. Same thing happens also when Developer 2 deployed and after that Developer 1 deploying their artifacts, Developer 2 lost all his arifacts from Docbase.
Also if we change Deployment Method=Incremental and Data Policy = Maintain then also we are facing same issue.
Content Server : 7.2
xCP Environment : 2.2
XMS Agent : 1.2
xCP Designer: Version: 2.2, Build: 2.2.0110.6374
Can you please suggest how we can solve this issue?
Maybe provide best practices to work with several developers on a single repository.
Also please let us know if you need any more information from our side.
RESPONSE FROM EMC SUPPORT
------------------------------------------------------------
It may occur on environments in DEV mode (set in xMS Agent environment) and if Developer 1 and Developer 2 deploy the same application with the same namespace but different set of artifacts.
In that case when Developer 2 deploy his/her version of the application the missing artifacts are treated as deleted and get deleted from repository.
So Now How we can solve this issue? Can any one suggest any alternative way to deployment?
