Sending updates to conf file using deployment server

[ajaysamantbms]

Is it possible to update only one stanza of a conf file (e.g inputs.conf) and not touch other parts of configuration.

What i understand is when i push the conf file through deployment server, entire file will get replaced with the new file from the server..

You are correct, it will replace the entire file. For that matter it will in fact replace the entire app. If you have appA on your deployserver, and it only contains inputs.conf, and your forwarder has appA that contains inputs.conf and outputs.conf. Once your deployserver sends the update, your appA will not have the outputs.conf.

What you should do is make a copy of the app onto your deployserver, make the necessary changes on your deployserver, and from now on only ever make changes on the deploysever.

Hope this helps.
