od 5.6 failures

Please look at my below posted deploy code, I'm getting deployment happening but it usually chokes about halfway through when sending data. Then it fails to completely rollback. I'm on win2k, using od 5.6.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<logRules maxBytes="32Mb" level="verbose" />

You might have files being locked on the target side.
If a file is locked on the target, OD cannot deploy it and cannot rollback those locked files. Some windows applications monitor/sweep a directory and in doing so
lock files as they crawl the system.

Should it matter if i'm deploying over existing data (pre teamsite)? Do most of first delete all the data from the target before your Very First deployment? It seems to me that that should not matter but it may be a best practice?

i dont think it should matter either.
if you have doDeletes turned on, the other data should removed for you.

It would help to see the actual logs so we could see the actual error messages.

Are you using IIS on the Receiver side? If so - which version of IIS? (IIS 4 is known to have many more problems with locking files than IIS5). In either case, however, there are options you can set in the transferRules (svrTryCount="some_number" svrTryInterval="some_number_of_seconds") that often help resolve problems with IIS locking.
