Using ant & install_archive.ipl to copy page & sitemap files across environments

KoenDeSmet

Hello ,

Anyone using ant ( /tools/ant/bin/ant & /install/install_archive.ipl ) to copy page files and other files to copy across different environments ?

I'd be interested in other methods that one would use to copy those across :-)

We're hitting a wall on the following issue :

Feel free to share your findings with this one :-)

spar are usefull if you want to copy the files and keep the metadata.
Do you have the same problem with other spar files?is the user you are using has root privileges?does the user have write access to the installed workarea and the target WK?

It's easier to use OD and deploy from one server to another(from my point of view) but it is not always possible...you can also thinks about custom scripts or WF but I prefer spar to customizations
