Content Deployment

Great post thank you, I have a question though, what if you want to create a custom deployment job that does the regular content deployment and then runs some other task (proprietory in this case), does the API give access to stuff like what objects are being deployed during this deployment session.
Also, if new page layouts are being deployed will dependant code/controls also be deployed as part of the job.

Harry Pfleger — Tue, 02 May 2006 16:42:49 GMT

Thankx Tyler, very good article! I assume that only content is published, which has been approved, right?
We often have the scenario that we work on a "refresh" of a punch of pages and want to comit them all at once (not as soon as they are approved). So probably the person how does the approval will aprove some pages during a longer time period (say one month). During this period, there may be changes to some of the pages which should now be deployed... Is such a scenario possible or to we have to ajust our workflow... Thankx. Harry

Are there any improvements to backup / restore for sharepoint sites, especially those with templates? This is something that can be accomplished several different ways in V2, but I think they are all more or less cumbersome.

Mike Sharp — Thu, 04 May 2006 00:42:27 GMT

Thanks for taking the time to write this article, Tyler; this is very good news for us. Like the others, I have a few questions.

1. In our current deployment scenario, I have noticed there is a short period of time while MCMS 2002 is committing the changes from the imported SDO that the server farm does not respond to incoming requests in a timely fashion. Request timeouts can occur during this period. On the other hand, a deployment is atomic. Does the new Content Deployment feature commit all new content at the same time (one atomic commit, in case there are multiple pages dependant on one another, due to links and the like), or does it commit page by page, and if it's atomic, does it have this issue with commitment?

2. To expand on Harry's question, I presume there are at least two states for each page; one if the page has been edited, and the other is the page in it's approved state. Can we have more than those two?

3. You mention the APIs in the MOSS SDK. The version I have is named OSS12sdk.chm, and there are only placeholders for the deployment API section. Is there a more recent version available, and where do I get it? Is Content Deployment working in Beta 1?

4. I, too, am concerned about dependant controls and code.

Mike Sharp

Great questions guys, and I'll try to address them...

"Also, if new page layouts are being deployed will dependant code/controls also be deployed as part of the job."

No - you'll be responsible for ensuring that the backing assemblies for controls and web parts are available on the destination farm. Deployment only takes content. If the assemblies are on the destination farm, though, things will work as expected.

"what if you want to create a custom deployment job that does the regular content deployment and then runs some other task (proprietory in this case), does the API give access to stuff like what objects are being deployed during this deployment session."

Hmmm, seems to be two separate issues... Deployment uses the PRIME API, which is a core public WSS API with a known schema, so yes you can crack open the manifest and see what items are in it. And PRIME does surface a callback that you can use to kick off a proprietary task. I should be clear though - at this point you're talking about your own custom solution using PRIME directly, which is how you'll extend this if you need to. We will be providing a couple of helper methods that will essentially allow you to create your own custom solution that does all the stuff we do (turn down caching on the destination while deployment's occurring, for example).

"I assume that only content is published, which has been approved, right?"

Sort of. Deployment will take the most recent major (published) version AND the most recent minor (draft) version of a page. HOWEVER, all scheduling will be respected on the destination, so if you schedule a draft to go live at 1pm and it's deployed to production at 11am, it won't be visible until 1pm, as expected. We also respect the security you've placed on items after they're deployed, if you so choose. This has more of an impact in intranet/extranet scenarios than in the internet-facing scenarios I discussed in the post.

"Are there any improvements to backup / restore for sharepoint sites, especially those with templates?"

Not my area of expertise, but yes, there have been improvements to backup/restore. Unfortunately I am not the expert on those features so I can't talk about them intelligently. Deployment and PRIME are not targeted at backup/restore - that's a separate feature-set.

"Does the new Content Deployment feature commit all new content at the same time (one atomic commit, in case there are multiple pages dependant on one another, due to links and the like), or does it commit page by page, and if it's atomic, does it have this issue with commitment?"

Deployment, and PRIME in general, is not atomic. Like you point out, there are good and bad things with this approach. Your site will be reachable while deployment is running (though it will be under additional load of course, so non-peak times are the best time to do deployment), but if the remote import fails, you'll have to run deployment again to jump-start the process. We are confident this won't pose a problem for people though, and PRIME is a fully re-entrant system.

"To expand on Harry's question, I presume there are at least two states for each page; one if the page has been edited, and the other is the page in it's approved state. Can we have more than those two?"

Conceivably you could do this with metadata on the page, but we only have two-built in "states" as far as published/draft is concerned. You can do some pretty incredible things with workflow though, so I'm fairly positive you would be able to do what you want with a nice workflow on your pages.

RE: SDK

The deployment/PRIME sections of the SDK are not yet available and I unfortunately don't know when they will be. Check again in the Beta 2 SDK.

Jeremy Thake — Mon, 08 May 2006 03:37:40 GMT

I've been working with various .Net CMS Systems for a few years now. The most powerful of which I have experienced are Interwoven Teamsite and RedDot, both of which use a deployment model rather than a dynamic model. When I use the word deployment, I mean the CMS takes the content and the template and transforms this into static pages and deploys them to a web server. With what you have just discussed, you are basically doing a import/export across two Sharepoint instances.

Is it possible to simply deploy static pages from the Internal CMS over FTP to a simple web server on the External Farm?

There are advantages and disadvantages of both from a performance point of view (render once rather than every page hit) and also a licensing issue (having to purchase MOSS on internal and external servers).
I have always seen this as one of MCMS's major flaws compared to its competitors and it appears that M$ have acknowledge it, but haven't followed suit. Is there any major reason for this? Do M$ see MOSS as now competing at Teamsite/RedDot level?

Thanks for the interesting read.

Question: Can Content Deployment be used for SharePoint Lists and Document Libraries too, not just WCM pages?

re: Content Deployment

Shoon — Wed, 10 May 2006 04:26:19 GMT

What type of content can we push down to the destination using the Content Deployment?

I have a customer who wants their documents (*.doc, *.pdf etc) in a particular document library of a central portal (WSS) to be pushed down to branch office WSS.

Is this possible with the use of Content Deployment and can it be automated?

re: Content Deployment

Richard Brown — Wed, 10 May 2006 18:58:55 GMT

A slightly different question than the last 2. Is is possible to just push folders of documents (*.doc) out to a particular document library (ie no central portal, just a bunch of documents in a folder going out to WSS)?

re: Content Deployment

Lawrence Liu [MSFT] — Thu, 11 May 2006 05:56:05 GMT

Joel, in MOSS 2007, there's no difference between a "WCM page" and a Web Parts page that has Lists and Libraries and other things on it -- they're now all just SharePoint pages. :-) Once a SharePoint site is activated ("lit up") with the MOSS Publishing feature, every page in that site is WCM enabled! This is the power and benefit of deeply integrating WCM functionality into MOSS.

re: Content Deployment

Tyler Butler [MSTF] — Fri, 12 May 2006 00:11:22 GMT

There have been some great follow-up questions since my last response, so I’ll try to tackle some of them here…

One question that got brought up more than once is how deployment keeps things in sync across multiple instances. Luckily, we don’t really have to worry about this because SharePoint does this for us. As Lawrence pointed out, the WCM features are built right into SharePoint, so we get all of the great topology management goodies that they have. Keeping Web Front-Ends within a farm in sync is something that SharePoint deals with quite well, and deployment itself doesn’t have to concern itself with managing that. That said, if you want to keep things in sync across farms, content deployment is your friend. You set up a schedule for when you want the deployments to occur, and how you want them to work, then it takes care of things for you. Bottom-line: keeping individual instances in sync within a farm is handled by the SharePoint platform, and content deployment can be used to keep things in sync across farms.

Another question was around security – how are things secured on the destination farm? It’s entirely up to you. If you’re building an extranet site with different authenticated users from a different domain, you may choose to deploy the roles you’ve defined, then apply those roles appropriately on the extranet site. Or if you’re doing an internet-facing scenario, you might choose to take no security information and explicitly secure everything on the destination. Deployment surfaces several options when dealing with security, so you can choose to mirror your security settings or break away and manage them independently on each farm.

So all this deployment stuff sounds great, but can you use it with docs and other content besides WCM pages? YES!!! This is a built-in feature that copies site content, regardless of whether it’s a document, a list, a page, etc. It can totally be used to deploy out team sites if you want. The Quick Deploy feature is specific to WCM pages, but everything else is WCM independent.

I will point out that deployment assumes you are replicating your site hierarchy on your destination. I.e. there’s no re-parenting. You can’t map your http://site/foo/bar source site to http://site/bar. There are ways to do this in PRIME, but deployment assumes your site hierarchies will be the same on both sides.

These are great questions, and I’d love to get your feedback as soon as you get your hands on Beta 2!

Maybe it's just the fragmented and (frankly) sparse information around MOSS that's available but, from the perspective of an MCMS2002 practitioner this just seems to have made an already too complex framework even more complex and without appreciable (i.e. cost justifiable) benefits driving migration.

When can we expect a straightforward migration guide or will we be waiting for Bill English, Lim Mei Ying, and others to bring it all together before any serious migration/adoption starts?

Great article , thanks Tyler

It was mentioned earlier that you need to activate the publishing feature in a site to allow it to take part in the deployment job. Where do I do this ? and does it need to be enabled in both the source and destination ?

Thanks

Steve Smith

re: Content Deployment

Tyler Butler [MSFT] — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 20:25:22 GMT

Steve,

The publishing feature is only required to be enabled if you want to use Quick Deploy. Any site can be deployed using the regular deplioyment jobs and paths.

You won't need to enable anything on the destination. In fact, you shouldn't. Deployment will take care of enabling the right features on the destination when you deploy.

You say "there's no difference between a "WCM page" and a Web Parts page that has Lists and Libraries and other things on it -- they're now all just SharePoint pages". But what about the lists and libraries themselves--not a web part page that displays a view of them, but the lists and libraries themselves--can these be deployed? In other words, if I add a document to a document library, will Content Deployment copy this document to another farm?

Tyler, this is a great post, thanks for the info. We're having a problem that I was hoping you could help with. We're using content deployment for a publishing portal across two B2TR servers. To get the content moved, we had to create a completely blank site collection using stsadm on the target server. That worked, but it did not activate the OSS Publishing Feature or the Publishing Resources feature, so we can't author content on the target server. We tried manually activating the Publishing Resources feature and got an error about using a name for a document library that already exists. We think this is the Style Library, which got copied over as part of the content deployment. So now we're stuck with all of our content, but no publishing. Any ideas?

I am undecided about what the best practice would be for a MOSS 2007 project that I am working on.

I have 500 plus subsites in a web application under one site collection. Each one of this subsites is a seperate business however they may share information from list in the top-level site. I am confused about whether these sub-sites should be site collections in the same application and if they where site collections would I be able to use the same masterpage for all of the site collections. If I made a change to the masterpage could all of the sites realize the change without having to go to each site and update it with the new masterpage. Please advise or point me to an article that speaks on this Thanks!

Will content deployment automatically deploy any site columns and site content related to the lists being deployed? Related, can you deploy site columns and site content with content deployment?

re: Content Deployment

MossMan — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 23:00:48 GMT

To answer the previous post, in the content deployment path/job, there are two options for "deploy user names" and "security information in the content deployment". If you deploy user names but don't deploy security, then when you create a user in your "source" farm, that user gets deployed to the "destination" farm but the user's security information can't be found. We found that it works best to turn off both options (i.e. uncheck "deploy user names" and select "None" for security information) for deploying from an authoring environment to a production environment.

However, we are also experiencing the issue with the "nbsp" tags getting converted to a strange character. This is a major issue keeping us from using content deployment. Is there any resolution to this issue?

Rick Hobbs — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:33:35 GMT

Hi Tyler,

We are looking at using Content Deployment to develop a customer's MOSS 2007 solution locally (outside a customer's network/AD) and then deploy it onto their infrastructure. However, when testing our deployment scenario we have a hit a bit of a snag - all of the workflows we setup against document/form libraries etc. do not get deployed - we have to go in and set them up manually.

Is there any way to make content deployment deploy the workflows? (We have already installed the features with the workflows in on the target machine) Or is there a better way to do a develop and deploy arrangement?

Kind regards,

Rick Hobbs

Jim — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 18:50:28 GMT

Karim.Aziz,

We've run into this same issue (User Cannot be found). MossMan's resolution, although logical does not resolve this issue. We found the cause of this issue is when a user creates a site and then they are subsequently removed from SharePoint altogether. So the reason it's happening is the user that created the site no longer exists in the Site Collection.

To resolve this, run this query: Perform the query:

Select Author, FullUrl from Webs where FullUrl = <offending site!!>

and update the Author field with a valid user account. Typically your SharePoint service account would be the best account to put in here.

Let me know if it works

re: Content Deployment

Rick Hobbs — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:55:52 GMT

Dave,

We hit this one and found that two causes for it:

1) The target site we were exporting to was not created using the "Blank Site" template. Using other templates (like the collaboration portal one) caused this error.

2) Enabling some (not sure which) features on the target site.

My advise would be to create the target site using the "Blank Site" template, don't activate any features, and try the export.

All the best,

Rick.

Content deployment losing information!

Alex — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:30:19 GMT

We seem to have a problem with content deployment, in that although our pages and document libraries and their associated views are all deployed to the live server, the document library webparts on the pages lose track of the views they are associated with - so instead of each page showing a specific view of the document library, each page is showing the entire document library!

I've not been able to find any resolution to this problem so far; it certainly doesn't sound like expected behaviour!

re: Content Deployment

Chris Topazi — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:04:31 GMT

Special characters...

Stacey, Rez, MossMan, Peter, etc. Let me preface everything I'm about to say, with "this is how I understand it".

The characters that are causing problems seem to be above 127 on the character map (i.e. greater than 128 bits). Example: ® is 174 on the character map (keystroke "alt+0174"), which indicates it's over 1 byte. A non-breaking ( ) space is more than one byte.

No matter how you enter them, via the Rich Text editor, or HTML editor... copy and paste to notepad to strip out formatting... etc. The characters "appear" to get encoded to ISO in the deployment process and there is no documentation to explain it.

I have a call into Microsoft, and I'm waiting to hear back. Their support lines are very busy. Will post my findings.

re: Content Deployment

jLo — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 23:30:47 GMT

From the blog: “I will point out that deployment assumes you are replicating your site hierarchy on your destination. I.e. there’s no re-parenting. You can’t map your http://site/foo/bar source site to http://site/bar."

Are you not able to route content from: http://Mysite/foo/bar to http://Yoursite/foo/bar?

My "Path" processes without problems. Job “test Run” succeeds. However when the job is run, it fails.

I've created a blank site on my new farm (destination). The Destination is in new domain - therefore admin users between farms are not the same. Do I need to give rights to the sql account from the old domain (source Site) into the new SQL database server (Destination)?

In the destination Central admin, I allow the old farm "source" administrator the rights to Central Admin. I have allowed the destination to accept content. Because the servers are in different farms - My Source Server does not appear in the drop down for “Source Server”. "Deployment Settings" page. Is it needed here?

re: Content Deployment

Chris Topazi — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 18:43:49 GMT

I had the same problem. I resolved mine by:

Making sure when creating http://site/bar that in the destination Central Admin, when in "Define the Managed Paths" the path: is "bar/" and the type: is "Explicit inclusion".

re: Content Deployment

MossMan — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:02:13 GMT

We are having issues with content deployment this week too. Our jobs seem to hang in the "preparing" state, but if we let them run, they successfully run exactly 1 hour after we start them. In fact, the problems appear exactly as described in KB 932563, which is the DST issue in Australia, but I'm located in the US so it shouldn't apply.

Is anyone else experiencing content deployment issues that started this week, which could potentially be due to the DST issue?

I have 3 cases open with Microsoft 1)crazy characters being ecoded during deployment 2)deployment failure 3)the SSP not crawling my site.

I've found a work around for the odd characters and deployment out of pure necessity and lack of knowledgable support from the lower tiers of the Microsoft support staff.

stsadm.exe backup/restore command line utility. You can backup individual site collections and deploy them manually. It does have a few issues that you will have to correct in the production enviroment like the search links are hard coded to the old collection URLs, but for the short term, it seems to work.

I am unable to deploy content within either of the 64 bit server farms or between the two 64 bit farms. Receive Timeout every time. IIS and Central Admin Timeout/Session settings have been set. Virus scan temporarily turned off. In fact, my 32 bit environment will deploy long before my high end 64 bit servers fail - which in one case was 2-3 hours later.

Regarding the "The remote upload Web request failed." issue that some people seem to be having - check the Event Viewer Application log for any "Office SharePoint Server" Errors. I had the same issue but found the following in my Event log error "Publishing: Content deployment job failed. Error: 'System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'web01.pfizer.emea'". This was because I was publishing from one DOMAIN to another and my SOURCE DOMAIN did not recognise my TARGET DOMAIN. I simply added an entry into my HOSTS file for the TARGET machine and IP address and this fixed the problem.

NOTE: I activated and deactivated Features on my Targer machine but this did not have any effect for my particular manifestation of the problem.

Content Deployment Scenario

Ahsan — Mon, 07 May 2007 08:51:39 GMT

Hello

I have a client who has 2 branches(London,Dubai). They want to implement sharepoint in each branch in a manner that each brach will have a separate database cluster and SPS server. These two branches are linked through a high bandwidth line. But again as a matter of contingency they want to have separate installations of Sharepoint.

The difficulty is that they want to synchronize the branches, remember database are separate. Whatever information they develop in any of the branch should be available on other. Its more like a replication scenario.

Can you tell me what is the best way to solve this problem? Can I use bi directional content deployment in this scenario? Or Can we replicate databases? Or Use some third party replication software?

For those who are trying to use

Content deployment is good feature, but still in premature state, before any one consider using this feature in production, please bewaring of following issues, probably it will help you. Other wise it could be a nightmare.

1) Strange characters that are inserted into the content on the sites after a successful content deployment. To an extent we can resolve this by cleaning up the content. Not practical to clean up because end users are not going to use HTML editor.

2) Failure of incremental deployment of content (Deploy only new, changed, or deleted content). Users are not affected by this, this just a head ache for IT to push content.

3) Webpart view on the destination site not matching the webpart view on the source site after full content deployment. In future MS fixes second issue, probably go to destination site and reset webpart default view.

We are planning to use 3-tier(DEV-STAGING-PRODUCTION) architecture. Is it possible to use MOSS on DEV and Staging, and WSS 3.0 in PRODUCTION(this being final destination)?

After all, content job just copies all the content objects from the source site collection/Site/Subsite. Just curious.

Please advise.

How to fix the user not found error

Estyn — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 03:41:57 GMT

Hey Bob and Karim,

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that I've found a way to fix the user not found errors, the bad news is that this fix is totally unsupported and may void your warranty.

Use at your own risk!

Backup your database before editing!

Essentially what is happening (at least in my case) is that when the content deployment starts it tries to do an export of the site, while doing so it checks to see who the author of the site is, if the author doesn't exist it crashes. The author of the site is stored in the Webs database table.

select * from webs

This will show you all the sites (and subsites) on that sitecollection. The author column shows you who sharepoint has recorded as creating your site. You can see who this use is by querying the userinfo table.

Select * from userInfo where tp_id = [TheAuthorIDFromWebs]

If that user no longer exists or you've renamed the user in your ID then you will need to change the Author in Webs to an ID of a user that does exist and has permission to the site.

Select * from userInfo where tp_SiteId = [siteId]

This query will give you a list of all the users that have access to the site whose id you pass in. Pick one of those users and use their ID as the new author in the webs folder. This should fix your problem.

This worked for me on my test database, hopefully it fixes your problems as well. I suggest a support call to Microsoft to find a supported solution, but this might get you through if you are in a hurry.

We created a job for content deployment.When this job starts ,cpu usage time reaches to 100% and sqlserv.exe (Sql server ) taking 98-99% of the CPU time.Are we missing something??

re: Content Deployment

pieter-jan — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:08:07 GMT

our content deployment is broken. apparently there is a problem in the database, which causes the job to fail. Our development party is not allowed to make changes to the database. So we're dependent on MS for a fix. this doesn't scale very well if a lot of people have the same types of problem - MS becomes a bottleneck in fixing

this gives me some serious doubts as to the robustness of the content deployment feature. Additionally, it is a single point of failure.

I am now at the stage where I would advise anyone to steer clear of this feature

Hello Dear!

I´ve just read the Tyler's explanation about using paths and jobs to migrate sharepoint solutions among environments.

I´ve tried to do it unsuccesfully, because there are lots of features and workflows that aren´t migrated.

Either I have un 'access denied' error or the workflow are not migrated at all.

Hence there are more than one year this article has been written I think there is somebody trying to do the same as I do.

Would anybody give me some way to investigate about the problemas I´ve been having?

Now I want to migrate the portal from development to staging. How can I do it so that the identities remain same.....because if identities changes then sie columns will refer old lists whereas new lists on staging will have some new GUIDS. Please suggest ...thanks in advance....

Hi Andrew, I am writing in regard to a question that I have not been able to find from various MOSS presentation, reference sites, blogs etc . I come from a CMS 2002 background and am looking at some guidance/recommendation on how I would setup an internet facing site within a DMZ (ie back-to-back perimiter) that satisfies both content authoring site (ie authentication/authorisation) and production site (anonymous) within the one signle MOSS farm. From a CMS implementation I would create two sites, one read for Internet users and another read/write for CMS authoring. Both sites will be configured to point to the same single CMS SqlServer database. Is this possible in MOSS 2007 ? I would of thought one would create two web applications (and/or sites) for this on the MOSS server and setup content deployment between the two sites but doesn't this result in two physical replica of database content being created ? Or do I just enable anonymous access on a single Internet site in addition to using site to satisfy this requirement? These are corporate sites so any display of login options for custom authentication is not appropriate. Any suggestions or guidance appreciated.

re: Content Deployment

Ranjan Banerji — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:26:19 GMT

I have not seen many replies recently but I will still go ahead and ask this question.

When creating a job I have two options with regards to content:

1. New Content

2. All content irrespective of whether it has been deployed in the past or not.

Are these specific to a job or a path? For example if I create a path to a ste collection with say 10 sites.

I then create 3 jobs to do a deployment to 3 of the 10 sites.

Now I create a 4th job and point it to the root of the 10 sites and tell it to deploy only New, Changed or deleted content.

Will the 4th job:

1. Deploy all Content from all 10 sites (my observation says yes)

2. Deploy content from 7 sites as 3 have already been deployed via other jobs for this path.

I would think the latter holds true but my observations says otherwise. I am observing a bug or a feature? :-)

If my observations are correct, then what is the strategy for deploying extremely large amounts of content?

My thought was to break down initial deployment and then create a master job for all subseuent incremental deployments.

Also, it would be great to fix the code such that if a deployment fails for example during transportation, to keep teh expoerted files and give the user a chance to say "try again". Right now after a 10 hour export a minor network glitch results in a complete wipe out of all exported files with no way to start where it left of.

Thanks.

re: Content Deployment

Sergey — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:10:51 GMT

Hi. I have a problem with content deployment.

In my sharepoint solution there are master page, layouts, content types and fields.

Some fields are lookup fields. I create them in the feature activation event handler

after creating their lists. Generally, the process works on deployment to blank site

collection, but it creates my layouts/master pages in content DB,

meaning with status "customized".

To avoid this, i activate my feature on destination site before deployment,

which creates lists and lookup fields in destination site collection.

After this the deployment fails with error "The specified name is already in use".

What is the best solution for my scenario?

Thanks.

Content Deployment - mdf grows up / PK constraint

Dominik — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:35:33 GMT

Hi all,

We have the problem, that our mdf-files grows up on destination-site when we do a full-deployment. sourcesite allways 4GB - destination 4,8,12,16... GB!!!

Also we have in incr. deployment all 2 or 3 days the same error (so we just can fix them with full-deployment - and mdf-files are growing up again).:

***Content deployment job 'test - Incr' failed.The exception thrown was 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' : 'Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#ExportObjects____7CDF21ED'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#ExportObjects'. The statement has been terminated.' ***

have anyone an idea to fix them?

Content Deployment as a replication mechanism for realtime scenarios

Bala — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:15:27 GMT

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for providing writeups and answers around content deployment.

We are evaluating this feature for a requirement where

1) pages

2) sites

3) sites with subsites

are expected to be replicated(using Content Deployment API - Export and Import) to other sites within the site collection.

We have been able to perform the page replication. However we have following questions. Could you please provide some guidance around these?

Scenario:

1) Page replication required realtime accross 20 sites when the page is approved

2) Sites with Subsites replication can happen to take some time

Questions

1) Is this a good design practice to use content deployment to be used for realtime and online scenarios(for eg: page replication when it is approved)

2) As this involves IO(export and import), In a clustering environment what care needs to be taken?

Thanks

Bala

I set a content deployment job update only new, changed, or deleted content. Every time when I run this job, the target site allow anonymous access will be closed, but I don't want the content deployment job to change this setting in targe site.

In fact, at my local test machine all the thing is work fine. It will not change the anonymous access setting, but It happened all the time on the real server. I could not figure out why, anybody can help me or give me some good advice?

We have a production farm and a dev farm in the same domain setup for content

deployment. This had been working fine up until this past week. I had a

sneaking suspicion it's due to DST, but none of the errors I get are pointing

this direction.

The Content Deployment works fine between the two dev test systems, but

pushing it up to our production server gives a time-out.

When the quick deployment job runs, it exports fine, but the imports time

out with the error:

The connection to the destination server was lost after the remote import

job was started. The import job might still succeed. Content deployment will

continue to attempt to reestablish a connection with the destination server.

On the destination server I always get the event error:

The connection to the destination server was lost after the remote import job was started. The import job might still succeed. Content deployment will continue to attempt to reestablish a connection with the destination server.
