We are having a production issue with datadeploy 5.6sp1.
We are using datadeploy to deploy incremental changes between editions. However, datadeploy seems to be deploying the differences found in both the basearea and the and the new area, instead of just deploying what has been changed in the new area. Here's a more detailed description:
The basearea contains a file with these attributes:
File name: article.jhtml
Metadata field preferred_partner: PRES
Metadata field submit_date: 10/30/03
The new area contains a file with these attributes:
File name: article.jhtml
Metadata field preferred_partner: {THE VALUE FOR THE FIELD HAS BEEN REMOVED}
Metadata field submit_date: 11/07/03
A differential deployment is run between the basearea and the new area and this is what is getting deployed:
File name: article.jhtml
Metadata field preferred_partner: PRES
Metadata field submit_date: 11/07/03
The data that ends up getting deployed is a combination of the base area and the new area's attributes. This is causing a major problem because we essentially are unable to remove the preferred_partner value from the file. This is what we expect to get deployed:
File name: article.jhtml
Metadata field preferred_partner:
Metadata field submit_date: 11/07/03
How can we achieve the expected functionality using datadeploy? Is this the way a differenital deployment is supposed to work?
Here is the content of the deployment configuration file named mdxml.cfg:
-----------------------------------------------
iwpt_encoding.ipl* iwpt_encoding.ipl.example* iwtemplates.cfg.example
<data-deploy-configuration>
<client>
<deployment name="mdxmldelta">
<source>
<!-- Pull data tuples from TeamSite EA's -->
<teamsite-extended-attributes options="differential,wide" area="$current^" base-area="$prev^">
<path name="." />
</teamsite-extended-attributes>
</source>
<destinations>
<xml-formatted-data file="$xmlfile" serialize="yes" tag="stuff"/>
</destinations>
</deployment>
<deployment name="mdxmlfull">
<source>
<!-- Pull data tuples from TeamSite EA's -->
<teamsite-extended-attributes options="wide" area="$current^" >
<path name="." />
</teamsite-extended-attributes>
</source>
<destinations>
<xml-formatted-data file="$xmlfile" serialize="yes"/>
</destinations>
</deployment>
</client>
</data-deploy-configuration>
------------------------------------------------
And here is the command being executed to kick off the differential deployment:
/opt/iw-home/datadeploy/bin/iwdd.ipl cfg=/opt/iw-home/local/config/mdxm
l.cfg deployment=mdxmldelta -k xmlfile=/export/home/opendeploy/Projects/label/Atg561Tem-www-11-07-13-52/metadata_delta_t
emplate.xml -k prev=/default/main/WWW-TemplatedContent/EDITION/Atg561App-www-10-28-15-11 -k current=/default/main/WWW-
TemplatedContent/EDITION/Atg561Tem-www-11-07-13-52
