Deploying into staging

Hi is it considered acceptable to use OpenDeploy to deploy directly into the staging area of a branch.

We have a requirement to log a copy of all files that were deployed to production so that when we do a rebuild we can redeploy all the production content.

Branch structure
/PUBLIC(BRANCH)/workareas/
/PUBLIC(BRANCH)/DEVELOPMENT(BRANCH)/staging
/PUBLIC(BRANCH)/PRODUCTION(BRANCH)/staging

You can never deploy to Staging. The only way anything can get into staging is to be pushed to a Workarea and then a submit task is run.

Thanks, in fact you confirmed the line i found in the manual :

"You cannot specify read-only areas like TeamSite STAGING area or EDITION as the target file location."

deploy to a workarea and run a dnr to submit to STAGING
