Exclusion filters as an include

System

Hi,

I tried search and found nothing. We have multiple deployments that need to share the same set of exclusion filters. Is it possible to maintain a single text file with the exclusion filters and call that file from the deployment.xml rather than maintaining the list in each individual deployment?

Thanks!

yes/no - or perhaps more correctly stated as no/yes. There is no built-in inclusion function for OD configuration files - however:

The first is (IMO) better as it doesn't leave a bunch of programmatically generated configuration files lying around, and also doesn't require that you perform your deployments through a front-end script to perform the generation before calling the deployment; however I'm not entirely sure (off the top-of-my-head) of the exact syntax for doing this and/or whether OD will actually support it.The second is more trivial, but suffers from the points mentioned above.
