Files doesn't deploy When Extended Attributes Change

We are using OD 6.1.1 and teamsite 6.5.

The modification timestamp of files in a TeamSite repository is not updated when
associated extended attributes (EAs) are changed. As a result, changes in a TeamSite
file’s EAs would not include that file in a directory comparison deployment.
According to documentation You can configure TeamSite to change a file’s modification timestamp, thus making the file eligible for deployment when the associated EAs are updated, even if the file itself has not changed.

We have modified the file iw.cfg located at
/iw-home/etc
and set
force_EA_mod_times=true

But the problem remains.
There exists only one iw.cfg file in the location
mentioned above.

may be trivial, but did you run iwreset?

Hi Valentine!

Yes, I did run iwreset but it didn't help.
I was wrong when I said that we had only on iw.cfg file located at
/iw-home/etc, we had another one located at /etc/.
I just modified that latest one and run iwreset and it worked.

Thanks for your support.

TS looks at /etc first, then iw-home/etc

Remove one of those.

BTW, use iwgetlocations -a next time

Hi.
Does anyone know if the force_EA_mod_times=true attribute works with TS 6.1SP2? I tried searching the docs but couldn't find any reference to it. On the off chance, I tried adding it to the config file but no joy. I know there are a couple different ways to do this (using touch etc) but I'm trying to find a minimalist method rather than hacking slabs of workflows etc.
