Shared deployment folder between 2 separate enviroments

[Yizi]

Sorry if this sounds crazy but we need to do some import exporting done between two environments (Live / Dev) will it cause conflict if we create a shared location and use it as a deployment folder between the Dev / Live environment. If anyone has any other ideas please share.

That's not crazy and should work just fine.

Thanks for the clarification, I will give it a go now and report back the results.

I was involved in a recent discussion on this very topic: http://www.cognoise.com/index.php/board,119.0.html

You'll find a bit more detail in the earlier exchange, but the conclusion was the same - there's no reason not to do it, if it suits your environment and deployment strategy.

You just need to properly name your deployment archives.

Its better to create 2 separate directories for deployment for prod and dev to avoid confusion. However if you to use a same deployment directory ,use proper naming conventions.

Cheers!

If your deploying in 2 different versions then it might cause a problem. Otherwise it won't be.
