Deploying files to multiple locations

Hello,
Using Open Deploy, I am trying to deploy from a single source to multiple directories on the destination servers by filtering folder names using sourceFilesystem xml tag.

For example,
from source/web folder to one destination location (/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp) on the web server.
from source/data folder to multiple destination locations (/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp & /iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test) on the app server.

But doing so, I am getting the following error:
Error : CONFIG_FILE.
Details: Duplicated destination area is not allowed:

I am unable to understand why Open Deploy is throwing an error, when I am trying to deploy files on the same location (/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp) but onto different servers.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Balu.

The file you posted is not syntactically correct - it's missing the end tag for replicationFarmSet
Also, instead of:<definition name="WWW_APP">
<source >
<sourceFilesystem area="/htdocs/data" >
<pathSpecification >
<path name="."/>
<filters >

</filters>
</pathSpecification>
</sourceFilesystem>
</source>

<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test"/>
</target>

<source >
<sourceFilesystem area="/htdocs/data" >
<pathSpecification >
<path name="."/>
<filters >

</filters>
</pathSpecification>
</sourceFilesystem>
</source>

<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp"/>
</target>
</definition>You might try this:<definition name="WWW_APP">
<source>
<sourceFilesystem area="/htdocs/data">
<pathSpecification>
<path name="."/>
<filters>

</filters>
<targetRules area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test"/>
</pathSpecification>

<pathSpecification>
<path name="."/>
<filters>

</filters>
<targetRules area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp"/>
</pathSpecification>

</sourceFilesystem>
</source>

<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="***OVERRIDDEN_ABOVE***"/>
</target>

</definition>

Hi Fish,

Still getting the same error.

Uploaded the modified config file.

In your definition name="WWW_APP":

In the source element, you are specifying to deploy the same area (area="/htdocs/data") and path (path name=".") to the same target space (useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm").

It looks like you are attempting to deploy area /htdocs/data to server2:/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test and server2:/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp.
To do this, you should have a single source path specification, and multiple target elements. Adding the <targetRules/> element to the source specification does not actually do anything.

To do this, you should have a single source path specification, and multiple target elements. Adding the element to the source specification does not actually do anything.

I think you're wrong here:

A source element can only be associated with a single target element.
A source element can be associated with 1-or-more pathSpecification elements
A pathSpecification element can contain a targetRules element which can include an area attribute
the area attribute of a targetRules element overrides the targetArea element within the target container.

However, it's possible that this problem is an instantiation of a bug which I thought had been fixed - wherein two definitions deploy to the same target area - despite the fact that each is going to a different target node receiver - OD sees it as two deployments to the same target area and disallows that (especially when one has doDeletes enabled.

The easiest way to verify this is to use distinct sub-directories of the target area for each deployment:<definition name="WWW_WEB">
<source >

</source>
<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-WebFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp/WEB"/>
</target>
</definition>

<definition name="WWW_APP">
<source >

</source>
<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test"/>
</target>

<source >

</source>
<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp/APP"/>
</target>
</definition>or<definition name="WWW_WEB">
<source >

</source>
<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-WebFarm">

<targetFilesystem area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp/WEB"/>
</target>
</definition>

<definition name="WWW_APP">
<source >
<sourceFilesystem area="/htdocs/data">
<pathSpecification>

<targetRules area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/test"/>
</pathSpecification>

<pathSpecification>

<targetRules area="/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/tmp/APP"/>
</pathSpecification>
</sourceFilesystem area="/htdocs/data">
</source>
<target useReplicationFarm="DEV-AppFarm">

</target>
</definition>If one of these changes works - then it looks like a bug which should be reported to Support -- although - if server1 and server2 nodes are defined to be the same receiver - then it's not a bug - it's OD being "smart" and realizing that you are trying to deploy from two source areas to the same target area....
