Using Filters for OD

Hi.
I am doing Open Deploy using workflows. I am facing a scenerio where-in a whole directory is getting deployed from source area to target area(Using Filelist deployment). But I need only a particular file to be deployed and not the entire directory. I tried implementing filters in Target area using "excludePath subPath" inside filters.

But it dint work. Can anyone kindly guide me on this issue please.

Thanks

If you're doing a filelist deployment, it is up to you to correctly populate the contents of the filelist to include the individual files you wish deployed. So your externaltask or cgitask script which is invoking OD should be creating the list correctly - fix that, and your deployment should work correctly.

I agree but there are 2 points. 1, way too many customers use the configurable_default_submit workflow (or config_author) and try to hack them imto working.

Second, he mentioned people submit a folder, which means he needs to expand the folder, get the elements underneath, and filter. TS/OD have never handled folders (submitting/deploying) nearly a well as they should/could.
