OD returns success bef 2nd tier finished

I have a multi-tiered deployment scenario where:
1 - Server1 deploys a file to Server2
2 - Server2 deploys several directories to Server3 and runs 2 DNRs

I want this to be transactional, but OD on Server1 returns a successful result (a) in cases where the deployment from Server2 to Server3 hasn't even finished yet, and (b) when the deployment from Server2 to Server3 fails.

From the docs, it sounds like if each tier's config is transactional, then the entire multi-tiered deployment becomes transactional. Is this true?

I'm using OD 5.5.1 with TS 5.5.2

If you want to perform a multi-tiered transactional deployment, you need to upgrade to OpenDeploy 5.6.

Thanks, Todd...

But in 5.5.1, is it at least possible to get OD to report the deployment as having failed -- even if you can't get the transactional rollback?

Best,

The problem is that the first tier deployment is independent of the second tier deployment. So one might succeed while the other fails, but there is no "rolled up" status.

In OD 5.6, the multi-tier transactional capability forces the first tier deployment to wait for the second tier to finish before reporting back the ultimate status.

In OD5.5.1, you could fake this behavior by having the first tier kick off the second tier deployment as a synchronous DNR instead of using the "next deployment" capability. The DNR that kicks off the second tier deployment would have to report back success or failure to the first tier deployment.
