Reverse Deployment

System

I am currently running OpenDeploy5.5.1/sp2 and TeamSite 5.0.1/sp2 on Solaris 8.
We have a new branch whose content exists on our production servers, and they want to move the content to TeamSite. I have created the branch already. Is there a "best practice" for reverse deployment? I've not done one before.

Reverse deploymens in OD 5.x are pretty easy - and I believe reasonably well covered in the manual.

Have you looked at the manual?
Is there something specific you don't understand or that doesn't seem to be working for you?
Can you post the deployment configuration file you are trying to use - along with the odbase.xml of your BaseServer and odrcvr.xml of your Receiver - all as a tar-or-zip'd attachment?

One note of caution is that prior to OD 5.6 SP1, the Base Server and Receiver must be at the same version. (Using different versions may work, but isn't supported.)

As of OD 5.6 SP1, however, you can initiate a reverse deploy using the 5.6 Base Server talking to a 5.5.1 or 5.0.1 Receiver.

Thankfully we have the same version on base and receivers. We had some issues before with incompatible versions. But, I haven't had a chance to really look at 5.6, and this is good information to know, thank you.

Something isn't working - and I'm sure it is some small thing that I am missing *grumble*.

I've attached my reversedeploy config, as well as the odbase and odrcvr. I can't tell what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carol

Are you getting an error, or are things just not deploying?

You may want to take a look at the Sample_Reverse.xml deployment config that's provided with OpenDeploy.

I get:

Error reading log: MICRO_AUDIT_LOG.

And that is the only thing in there.

The macro log audit has more information - but it still doesn't help me.

I noticed you have Internet01c as the reverse source host, but it does not appear in odbase.xml as an allowed host.

Thanks - I don't know how I missed that. I changed it to the proper host. But I still get an error that it can't read the microlog.

To isolate the problem, maybe try setting up the Sample_Reverse example on a standalone Base Server machine. If that works, then expand the example to reverse deploy from a remote Receiver.

Or open a case with Tech Support to see whether they can recreate the problem.

After you made the change to the server configuration file - did you remember to stop/start the server? Just changing the configuration file doesn't put into effect those changes.

I hadn't stopped the server, but I did end up doing a reset from the Admin GUI. Will that work? Or do I have to do a full iw.local/iwod/iwtcboot/iw.server stop and start?

Also - just so I have it correct - the reverseSource would be what is normally my target server, and the reverseTarget is my base server. Right?

Reset should be sufficient.

And yes, the reverseSource would be what is normally your target server, and the reverseTarget is your base server (initiator of the deployment).

I haven't had a chance to do this or many other of the suggestions on this issue. It's been bumped down a bit because of other issues that have come up. I do appreciate all the help however.
