I'm having problems with items deleted via Site Manager not appearing in our
production site.

I am not specifying a start channel, but am still not getting the items
deleted in the production server. I am therefore trying to implement the fix
suggested in the MCMS FAQs.

I have tried to run the code in the MCMS faq, but get "ActiveX component
can't create object".

I have tried to run the code in a c# application, whch appears to run OK,
but does not return the deleted items.
In this code I am creating a CMSDeployExport object using -
SITEDEPLOYSERVERLib.CmsDeployExport exportjob = new
SITEDEPLOYSERVERLib.CmsDeployExportClass();
This is different to the script in the FAQ which uses -
set pCmsDeployExport = CreateObject("CmsDeployServer.CmsDeployExport.1")

I cannot create an object using "CmsDeployServer.CmsDeployExport.1" in c#.

Is SITEDEPLOYSERVERLib the same as CmsDeployServer?
What is the significance of the .1 at the end of CmsDeployExport?

Is there anything else I am missing?

Hi Mike,

in C# you will have use an Interop to the COM object.
E.g. like this:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/...c5-1c4911aa1553

But to come back to your issue: you should not delete items in Site Manager.

Items still in the deleted items folder cannot be deployed at all - no way.
Only items already purged from the deleted items folder can be deployed
using a site deployment script.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Mike,

yes. Such a deleted items folder is covered in Tips&Tricks section of the
following book:
