Need urgent assistance on OpenDeploy Configuration

Hi,

I want to copy all the contents of a Workarea from Soure to Target hosts using remoteDiff. I am able to copy Newer files and older files using different comparision rules.

My target has few identical files already copied long back. now I want to overwrite all the identical files as well so that when I submit all of them, the new Ownership and Groups are applied on them as well.

                <source>
                        <iwStore name="" recordExtAttr="no" >
                                <remoteDiff area="$srcarea^" name="" >
                                        <pathSpecification>
                                                <path name="." />

Please mention the base and target OS details. If both are UNIX based then..

You can change the comparison rules (ignoreModes="yes" ignoreUser="yes" ignoreGroup="yes") to no. This will bring out differences in access enabling the files (which are considered identical now) to be deployed.

If this is a "one-time" thing (to copy over all the files) - just create a filelist of all the files and use a filelist deployment configuration - it will generally be faster to run as there are no comparisons performed and all the files will be deployed (as you indicate you want). From that point on, your comparison deployment process should be used to limit the number of files being deployed to just those that have changed (or a filelist deployment from a workflow which similarly would limit the files being deployed to just those that are associated with the job)
