deployNRun running twice

OD 5.0.1 on Windows
I have an OD configuration that deploys to a two-server farm. This configuration has a deployNRun script that runs on success to publish an addition. The script runs fine, except occasionally it appears to run twice and I will wind up with two editions created.
I have attached the configuration. (Renamed to .txt to get it to upload.)
Has anyone else seen this?

hmm.. I am not sure if you can avoid DBR running twice from what you are doing. If you do find out the answer, please let me know.

I believe that each "leg" of a deployment is validated for success/failure on its own - and thus the DNR defined within the execDeploymentTask will probably fire once for each target node (a.k.a. deployment "leg") that is part of that deployment.

So - in other words - this is currently "expected behavior".

There is a Feature Request on file for distinct "trigger points" for DNRs - among the suggestions is "after/before all <execDeploymentTask> elements" - which I believe would do what you want here.

I've added Beckman Coulter, Inc as an interested customer for this feature request.

The only work-around I can think of for right now is to have a script which takes as an argument the number of 'nodes' or 'legs' being deployed to, and increments a counter in a file or something - and doesn't perform the actual publish until/unless the couter value is the same as the number of nodes.

Does that help?

The strange thing is that it already runs the way I want it to ~80% of the time. In other words, 80% of the time it only runs once even though the deployment to both servers is successful. Its inconsistent.

If you can - try to collect logs from the deployment when it runs "correctly" and "incorrectly" - and open a case with Interwoven Support so that it can be investigated.
