OpenDeploy 5.6 and Exclude rules in nodeRef

System

I'm attempting using the exclusion rule to exclude specific file types and
directories. The I want to specify the rules "higher" in the deploy
configuration; in the "nodeRef" section. I can get the rules to work if I
specify them in the "deployment" (pathSpecification and/or target)
section. However, I'd like these to rules to be global. I will be
specifying multiple definitions because I have multiple branches which
will need to be individually defined. I'd like the rules to be applied on
all the definitions.

When I specify the rules in the nodeRef, they are not applied. The
deploy runs but it does not exclude the specified file types. I think the
problem is the "area" attribute. The target area is
/opt/interwoven/opendeploy/OpenDeployNG/tmp and the source is
/opt/iw-home/opendeployNG/OpenDeployNG/tmp. I've tried it with both
areas. When I use the source area
(/opt/iw-home/opendeployNG/OpenDeployNG/tmp), the deployment fails because
the area is not allowed by the reciever server. When I use the target
area (/opt/interwoven/opendeploy/OpenDeployNG/tmp) the deployment works
but the exclusion rules are not applied (the file type and directory are
deployed). What am I doing wrong?


<nodeRef useNode="TSAGENT" transactional="no">
<targetRulesarea="/opt/interwoven/opendeploy/OpenDeployNG/tmp/">
<filters>
<excludePattern regex=".*asp"/>
<excludePath subPath="SERVLET"/>
</filters>
</targetRules>
</nodeRef>

Did you put the same filters in source?
