Do the targetRules in OD5 even work???

tvaughan

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy to two servers (A and at once, and I want to set the ownership on server A to be "crwmgr" and the ownership on server B to be "iwfmmgr"

On page 191 of the OD 5 manual, it seems like this is relatively straightforward to do.

No matter what I try, though, it seems as though OD just completely ignores me.

Here's my deployment configuration XML. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

 < replicationFarmSet>
      < replicationFarm name="Staging" >
          < nodeRef useNode="hq2unx135" />
              < targetRules>
                  < permissionRules user="crwmgr"/>   ### Here's my change
              < /targetRules>
          < nodeRef useNode="hq2unx137" />
      < /replicationFarm>
  < /replicationFarmSet>

 < definition  name="TS2FMstaging">
      < source>
          < sourceFilesystem  area="$source_area"
                             filelist="$filelist" >
              < pathSpecification>
                  < path name="." />
              < /pathSpecification>
          < /sourceFilesystem>
      < /source>
      < target useReplicationFarm="Staging" >
          < comparisonRules  dateDifferent="yes" />
          < permissionRules  directory="0775"
                            file="0775"
                            user="iwfmmgr"               ### This is the default, right???
                            group="nogroup">
          < /permissionRules>
          < targetFilesystem area="$target_area" />
      < /target>
  < /definition>

I thought that Interwoven's XML example was really weird. Notice that the "nodeRef" tag is self closing, and then there's an indented "targetRules" section. I thought that was bizzarre, so I also tried this configuration:

< nodeRef useNode="hq2unx135" >
              < targetRules>
                  < permissionRules user="crwmgr"/>
              < /targetRules>
< /nodeRef>

That didn't work either, but it is very odd to me that both configurations resulted in a deployment. It's almost as if OpenDeploy completely ignores that section. . .

Also, before you ask: Yes, the user 'crwmgr' is a valid user account on the Interwoven deploying machine and the taget machine referenced in the hq2unx135 node.

TIA,
Tom
