Meaning of log entries "delete <filename> [reason missing-in-src] SKIPPED"

Kewl

Hi All,

Do you know the meaning of SKIPPED in the log entry "delete [reason missing-in-src] SKIPPED"?

Does SKIPPED mean that the deletion didnt go through?

Can some one reply quickly?

Did you check the target of the deployment and see if the file was actually deleted? Likely not. Skipped typically means it didn't do that.

No, the Target File has not been removed.

This logging is a typical verbose mode entry indicating that:
- You've used some flavor of Comparison Deployment.
- One of your Target locations has a File that is absent in corresponding Source Location.
- doDeletes Flag of your Transfer Rules is set to "no".

Hence, the File has been identified as a candidate for deletion but ultimately left untouched.

Boris you are so classy and helpful. I don't know why I like you, but I do.

Nipper....shut it.

I found this original post to be quite bizarre - if you are smart enough to configure a deployment, which is not trivial by any means, how can you not know what SKIPPED means? But I am making far too many assumptions...

ISCBorisB

Dave, I have a confession to make. I'm actually an imposter, found out by Nipper!

Well that at least explains a lot better why I like you. The link doesn't work, though. Whoever you are.

Another possibility (I don't remember if the message is identical) is that you are running the deployment in simulated (dont_do) mode.

@ghoti,

The deployment was a real one not a sim

@Boris: Also attaching Deployment log files. I didnt see a Do Delete flag in the srv log file, config section.

If do delete is not there, then it is set to no by default, thus all deletes will be skipped. hmmmmm, what can we conclude from that

Ams_devnet

This directory Comparison deployment caused deletion of various files from our target server(iw-home directory) and the server went DOWN.
(This was a Directory comparison deployment from EDITION area to iw-home directory)

So I really cannot conclude anything here since
1> All Deleting entries say SKIPPED
2> Cant find Do delete flag in srvr logs
and still I many files got deleted.

The deployment for which logs you just posted did not delete anything - either you're looking at the wrong deployment configuration and/or log files or something else is responsible for deleting those files on your server.

In addition to what Ghoti already noted...

Included logs indicate failed Transactional deployment with the failed roll-back.
You may have serious issues with this particular Deployment configuration and no wonder...

Your target root is "/development0/Q1S/Interwoven", it *looks* like you are trying to Deploy
(among other things) numerous OD's own Folders/Files. Frankly, it's not very good idea to
pull the carpet from under working OD Receiver...

Btw, although that's minor...
execDeploymentTask can have only one deployNRun Tag. You should reconfigure to place both
of your dnrDeployment Tags under single deployNRun.

Kewl

Thank you Ghoti and later Boris for the answer, I think the deletion issues happened just because of the failed RollBack of the transactional deplyment

Boris, this deployment was to deploy files from a Teamsite branch to the IW-HOME location, a solution for versioning control of IW-HOME/* files.
