Multiple targets and includePath/excludePath filters

I understand that we cannot combine both inclusion and exclusion filters in the same deployment configuration. So, is there a work around solutions???

Basically, I want to deploy some contents to the targetServer A, and the remaining contents to targetServer B. For example: I have the below structure:

/folderA
/folderB
/folderC
/folderE
/folderF
file1
file2
...

I want to deploy /folderA, /folderB and /folderC to targetServerA. The remaining folders and files will go to targetServerB. Is it possible? If so, would be appreciated if you can provide sample codes.

Or any suggestions would be thankful.

ps: My I am using TeamSite 6.1/Solaris, the OpenDeploys are 5.5.1 and 5.6 for the target servers.

You didn't mention what version of OD is on the Base Server - however I will assume 5.6 since I don't believe inclusions came until then.
I'm not sure if inclusions work in a down-rev deployment, though they probably should if they're only specified on the source side (might work for target-side filters too, but I'm less sure of it).

Given what you've described and assuming '/' being the source area path associated with '.' - couldn't you use something like:

...
   <filters>
    <includePath subPath="./folderA"/>
    <includePath subPath="./folderB"/>
    <includePath subPath="./folderC"/>
   </filters>
...

for one definition and

...
   <filters>
    <excludePath subPath="./folderA"/>
    <excludePath subPath="./folderB"/>
    <excludePath subPath="./folderC"/>
   </filters>
...

for the other?

Thanks Ghoti,

I did try to use <excludePath subPath...>, it won't work. But <excludePattern regex...> seems to work instead.

<filters>
<excludePattern regex="\folderA"/>
<excludePattern regex="\folderA"/>
<excludePattern regex="\folderA"/>
</filters>
However, I still cannot get it to work with the inclusion filter. Below is what I've got.
<filters>
<includePath subPath="folderA"/>
<includePath subPath="folderB"/>
<includePath subPath="folderC"/>
</filters>

What did I do wrong?

Try using

./folderX

Solved the mystery!

Gone back to look at the OD admin manual and found that OD v5.5.1 does not support <includePath...>

Thanks.
