OpenDeploy Deployment Configuration Composer Tool

Scenario:
All deployment configurations have been written with a text editor and placed in the od-home\conf directory. When I attempt to view these existing configurations using the Deployment Configuration Composer tool provided through the OpenDeploy User Interface they are not available for view or edit.

Question:
Why are these deployment configurations not available through the OpenDeploy Composer User Interface?

Environment:
OpenDeploy 5.6 (upgraded from 4.5.1, 5.5.1)
No SP or PP

If you go to Configurations/ViewConfigurations in the Admin UI, are the deployment configs visible on the deployment pull-down menu? Make sure you've selected the host where the deployment configs live. Note also that if you copy files into the conf directory, you need to refresh the UI for them to be visible.

It's not clear to me whether you were able to get this far, or if you are having problems with the composer itself.

Are you talking about 4.x style configuration files being read into the Configuration Composer? or were the 4.x config files already translated into 5.x format?

I've not had any problems reading in deployment configuration files that I've written by hand, into the configuration composer - can you provide (as an attachment please) an example of a deployment configuration file that you cannot read into the configuration composer?

Also - what platform are you using for your AdminServer (Windows or Unix)?

Todd - Answers to your questions:
a. No the configurations are not visible from the Configurations\View Configurations dropdown.
(See Attached file- remove the pdf extention)

b. The OpenDeploy UI is pointing to the correct OpenDeploy instance, which is installed on the same server

c. The configurations are not "just created" versions. These files have resided in the â€¦/conf directory well before there was an OpenDeploy Admin UI. Upgraded from version 4.5.1

Fish - Answers to your questions:
a. At one time these configurations were version 4.x , but then converted (to XML) and have been running with a 5.51 install since June of 2002.

b. See Attached File (remove the pdf extention)

c. Admin Server is running on Windows 2000

Are you logged into the Admin UI as an OD administrator or as an OD user who has permission to run those deployment configs?

If you go to a DOS prompt on this server and type

C:\> dir /b %IWODHOME%\conf

What do you get back?

(I'm just trying to ascertain whether there's something wrong with the environment)

Todd,

The error ended up being a permission problem.

To solve it I logged in as the boot strap user and granted the other accounts permission to deploy as an Administrator
