iwnew adding after jpg extension

I have two servers deployed to (transactional) Today we noticed that to one server images are getting named SomePicture.jpg.iwnew on one of the servers but not on the other.

Anyone seen this before? Any solution offers?

That happens in a transactional deployment. It creates .iwnew and then moves them to the original ones. (deployment transactional="yes")

That file should be a temp file and not stick around. But I have seen cases where the deployment fails and the .iwnew stays. That, of course, caused other deployments to fail.

Yup - thanks - new the use of iwnew. Just not sure why all of a sudden the failure on one of the two servers. Not finding anything yet in the logs that is helpful. Wondering if I should cycle OD on the one recevier? Thoughts?

Check the logs. If there is an entry to the effect of cannot rename/copy blah.jpg to blah.jpg.iwnew then remove the .iwnew file. Must be done on the receiver.

Looking at the deployment log and greping for both the name of the file and for *iwnew*. I only get lines where we are receiving the files. No return of anything like rename or can not either.

If you don't manually clean up the "trash" that was left behind ("*.iwnew", "*.iwold") - they will continue to sit there. OpenDeploy will not magically clean them up itself because it won't recognize them as being part of any new deployment.

Just be sure that there aren't any deployments going on when you do the cleanup as you don't want to remove files with those extensions if they are part of an active deployment.

Clean all the .iwnew extension files and try redeployijng. Existing temperorary file might be causing the issue.

The delete of iwnew and redeploy fixes this issue. What concerns me is that I don't see any indication of an issue in the log. I will monitor and see if this happens again.

Thanks.

That is surprising because I remember seeing errors in the receiver log about this before.

I would think even with the lowest log level you would see an error mentioning the file and iwnew.
