Out of Synch Deployments

Hi-
I have some odd OD behavior. I have a replication farm with 3 servers. The deployment works great to all the servers, but I am getting different deployment numbers in the logs. Seems like, the number of files deployed should be the same to ever server, if only open deploy is involved.

So if 10 files were updated, seems like all three servers logs should show that 10 files were deployed. Instead, in my logs I am seeing 2 servers say 10 files were deployed. The third, says that all the source files were missing (clearly not the case), and it deploys all 400 odd files.

Anyone seen this behavior? Any ideas to troubleshoot.

Attached is the config.

Thanks

What version of OpenDeploy? (the platform is clearly Windows)

Could you post, as an attachment, the micro log for the leg of the deployment that deploys *all* the files?

Also - looking at your config file - I think it can be simplified (see attached)

Thanks for the new config, I will use it.

OD 5.5.1 6054 20020127

Attached is the log. I had to significantly edit it, as it was too large too post. I commented the areas I removed redundant tasks.

Thanks in Advance

I think you're running into bug 33637 which was fixed in OpenDeploy 5.5.1 SP2.

This bug manifested itself when there were files or directories on the target side that began with an underscore (or actually any character that happend to fall *between* the range of lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, of which underscore is one)

The clue, from your log:
==================
client: deletedir .\_derived [reason missing-in-src] -- SKIPPED
==================

I'd suggest upgrading to SP2 or living with it a tad bit longer and then upgrading to 5.6 (due out real soon now) as the bug was fixed in SP2 (and verified fixed in 5.6)

right, great catch. MS indexing server adds those annoying _ in directories. If I turn indexing off and delete all the _directories, it should resolve, correct?

OD 5.6 will be key.

Another possibility might be to explicitly filter out files that begin with underscore - but I think you have to be careful about the regex - something like:
<filters>
<excludePattern regex="[\\/]_"/>
</filters>

And you'd probably want to do that within the <target> section.

5.6 was released today! (I'm installing it on my laptop now)
