      How do I create ant task to copy required package.xml filesto another directory to deploy?

      Posted by Danna on April 25, 2016 at 10:38 AM

      I have a configured package .xml file from Force.com IDE and when I use the same to deploy certain changes from another folder ANT is scanning the entire metadata. Though it is supposed to function like that but is there any way I can create an ANT task which copies only the required files to another directory?

      Hey Danna

      You can change the package.xml as per your requirement , so remove the the components which you doesn,t want to copy, also the components which you will be removing must be removed from all of  the retrieved package component in the retriveUnpackaged folder.
