Comparing files before deployment !!!

Currently I’m deploying files while comparing my files from current EDITON and previous EDITION. It’s working fine.

Now I want to deploy files from the STAGING and I want to compare it with the files present on TARGET location.

Something like below..

Where “c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myprogram” is target file system area. Do you have any idea as how to do it?

You will have to use remoteDiff and specify the TeamSite staging area as a filesystem.

remoteDiff — a deployment based on the comparison of files residing on the
source and the target host

As your destination is not a TeamSite 'area' the configuration will fail. To specify TeamSite as a filesystem use the IFS mount point y:

Your path will be - Y:/default/main/....../STAGING as source.
Check out the examples in the OD Deploy guide.

Applying remoteDiff is working for us now.. Smiley Happy

But I have another question related to this...

1. I'm deleting some files from workarea
2. I submitted it so that it gets deleted from STAGING as well
3. I'm deploying STAGING area through Open Deploy (remoteDiff)
4. How these deleted files will get deleted from web servers (target locations). Is there any configuration / setting for this in OD script?

I tried to look into documentation but couldn't' find anything relevant.. have anybody implemented something similar to this?

You read the manuals and didn't see mention of doDeletes?
I suggest you re-read the manuals then ...

I know we can use doDeletes with filelist deployment but can we use this with remoteDiff deployments also?

OK, it works with remoteDiff also... thanks for help Smiley Happy

Hi ,

I want to compare the files between Staging and Edition versions. I hope ./iwcmp will be used to compare the files..

I am not sure where the ./iwcmp needs to be executed like /opt or /iw-home/local/bin .

Thanks in Advance.

You should have started a new thread.

You do not neec iwcmp, OD has the ability to diff two editions and send the difference. Please read the OD manual and try it, then post questions.
