Sitecore CLI Scope & AllowedPushOperations property equalents in TDS

Question

We are planning to migrate from TDS to Sitecore CLI and I need to create module.json files following the existing TDS setup.

In one of the TDS .scproj, I see nodes like this:

<SitecoreItem Include="sitecore\content.item"><ItemDeployment>NeverDeploy</ItemDeployment><ChildItemSynchronization>NoChildSynchronization</ChildItemSynchronization></SitecoreItem>

There are two properties for each item - ItemDeployment and ChildItemSynchronization.

I would like to confirm the Sitecore CLI option equivalents for those.

TDS - ItemDeployment	CLI - allowedPushOperations
NeverDeploy	???
DeployOnce	CreateOnly
???	CreateAndUpdate
AlwaysUpdate	CreateUpdateAndDelete

TDS - ChildItemSynchronization	CLI - scope
NoChildSynchronization	SingleItem
KeepAllChildrenSynchronized	ItemAndDescendants
???	ItemAndChildren
???	DescendantsOnly

Could you please confirm if what I have mapped is correct.
Also, what should be considered for the missing ??? cases.

Answer 1

Here you can find the Sitecore CLI option equivalents for TDS.

TDS - ItemDeployment	CLI - allowedPushOperations
NeverDeploy	Ignored
DeployOnce	CreateOnly
No Equivalent Option Available	CreateAndUpdate
AlwaysUpdate	CreateUpdateAndDelete

TDS - ChildItemSynchronization	CLI - scope
NoChildSynchronization	SingleItem
KeepAllChildrenSynchronized	ItemAndDescendants
KeepDirectDescendantsSynchronized	ItemAndChildren
No Equivalent Option Available	DescendantsOnly

Hope this helps!

Sukesh, I have not used TDS much. So I will be answering SCS part of your question.

TDS - ItemDeployment > NeverDeploy

If you want to ignore a specific node in SCS, you can make use of rules

Example, If you wish to ignore Contact Node under Home -

        {
            "name": "Home",
            "path": "/sitecore/content/Home",
            "rules": [
                {
                    "path": "/sitecore/content/Home/Contact",
                    "scope": "ignored"
                }
            ]
        }

Hope this helps !
