I'm curious if there's an out-of-the-box capability to combine "metadata based" (intelligent delivery) deployments with "comparison based doDelete" behaviour...
I just flipped through od.611.deploy.pdf p.60-73 "Payload Adapter-Based Deployments", and it seems that this provides for metadata-based query on EA, that results in a list of files that get deleted or deployed or deploy-if-different, depending on
payload/payLoadRules/action
What I'd like on top of that is that the metadata-based deployment would also delete the files in the target directory, that were not in the file list produced by the metadata query.I found 2 old threads regarding Intelligent delivery and deleting content. At that time (2004-2005), the above feature seemed to be absent. What about now?
The use case is that we have a collection of files, with each file tagged for use in certain channels. When a file is added to a channel, it will be picked up by the metadata query "Channel = X" and be deployed to the "subscribing" server Y. When a file is removed from a channel, the EA value disappears. The next metadata based deployment would need to remove the file from server Y. This is all just theory at the moment... just exploring design options.
cheers & thanks
