doDeletes option with TeamSite comparison

Gerard

I'm trying to get OD 5.5.1 to work for "Redeploying Legacy Web Sites" (see admin guide, page 291).
I've tried to include the "doDeletes" option, but it does not seem to work.
I.e. a file that does not exist in the edition is not removed. In the log file I see that the option doDeletes is recognised...

When trying to deploy a certain edition, of course we want to remove files that did not exist yet.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance, Gerard

In a TeamSite-comparison deployment, the doDeletes option will delete files that are present in the original edition but are not present in the new edition. So if a file exists on the target system but is not present in the old edition, it won't get deleted.

Try using a directory comparison deployment instead (with doDeletes enabled). If the files your are deploying are older than the ones being replaced on the target (as would be the case if rolling back a site), use the "revert" option in the file comparison rules.
