Parts of composite objects.

When you create a deployment group, you can choose to copy all or part of composite objects. If you choose to deploy part of a composite object, you must ensure that dependent objects exist in the target folder.

Local and global shortcuts.

When you copy a deployment group, you can reestablish local shortcuts to objects in shared folders. The wizard does not allow you to reestablish global shortcuts. As a result, you must ensure that the shared folders and global shortcuts exist in the target repository.

Objects with different or conflicting names in the deployment group and target repository.

An object in the target repository can be a copy of the object in the deployment group but have a different name. In this situation, the wizard replaces the copy of the object with the object in the deployment group.

An object in the target repository may also have the same name as an object in the deployment group, but may not be a copy of the deployment group object. If this naming conflict occurs, the wizard cannot copy the deployment group object.

Objects with different statuses in the deployment group and target repository.

The status of an object in a deployment group may change after the copy operation, depending on the status of the object before deployment.
