Directory comparison method of OD

Ananda_31091

Hi All,

i am required to Opendeploy the content from one box to another.

i have a descriptor file with the following entry.

target useReplicationFarm="ABC"
targetTeamsite area="abc/def/ghi" applyExtAttrs="yes"
comparisonRules dateDifferent="yes"
permissionRules directory="0755" file="0755" group="cms" user="cms"
transferRules doDeletes="no"
target

i am doing actually directory comparison method of deployment.
1) In the above code if i give dateDifferent="NO" instead of yes, does it do Full deployment without doing any comparison ( i mean blind deployment) ?

2) is it mandatory to mention any comparision attribute ( like datedifferent)?

3) if i dont mention any attribute then does it take any default value?

Please let me know the answers.

Regards,
Ananda

Q. If i give dateDifferent="NO" instead of yes, does it do Full deployment without doing any comparison?
A. No. In this case only source-side Files with newer modification date will go. dateDifferent="yes" Deploys any Date/Time difference.

Q. Is it mandatory to mention any comparison attribute?
A. No, the whole Tag is optional.

Q. Does it take any default value?
A. Yes, see Comparison Criteria and sequence in the OD Administration Guide, Chapter "Deployment Features", paragraph "Comparison Rules".
Note that for Comparison Deployments all these additional Criteria become relevant only when Source/Target File Dates are identical
