recursive parameter not working

I am trying to deploy files from the root of my source directory and skip all of the subdirectories.

There is a parameter that can be used in the node called "recursive" that is supposed to do this. For instance:

This should deploy only the files located in the root of the path. However this attribute is not working for me. All of the nested content within the path is still deployed.

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

What rev of OD ? I do not see that option in the 6.1 manuals

I am trying to deploy files from the root of my source directory and skip all of the subdirectories.

There is a parameter that can be used in the <path> node called "recursive" that is supposed to do this. For instance:

<path name = "pathName" recursive = "no">
<filters>
</filters>
</path>

This should deploy only the files located in the root of the path. However this attribute is not working for me. All of the nested content within the path is still deployed.

If you look a bit closer in the manual (6.0.2 reference) you'll see that this is only documented for the interfaces to things like VSS and such - not for OD running in its native mode.
In the 6.1.1 reference manual it appears to have been documented both in the context of things like the VSS adaptor and outside the context, but it isn't clear that it really works that way - you may have to contact IWOV Support to find out if it's really supported in native OD mode (if not, they should file a doc bug) -- though please make sure to mention what version of OD you are using.

You could also try setting up an exclusion filter to filter out anything that contains

"\.?/.*/"

or something like that.

We are using version 6.1.1.

The 6.1.1 reference doc for OD states the following:

recursive — indicates whether (yes) or not (no) the deployment is recursive (all the subdirectories and files under your specified source file location are included in the deployment).
If the value yes is specified, all the files and subdirectories under source file location’s will be deployed to the target file system. If no is specified, all the files which are at the root level of the source file location will be deployed to the target file system and no directories will be deployed. Default value is yes.

I plan on following up with support on this.

Reading the 6.1.1 doc I can understand the confusion, it certainly *looks* like 6.1.1 and 6.2 should have this.

That being said it is only in the DTD and the DTDs are not always accurate.
