Hi all,

There has been much talk of problems with replicating the deletion of
objcts using the SDAPI but it seems no concensus.

I have an incremental deployment that can deploy a new channel fine but
if I delete the channel again it does not replicate that change (and BG
processing has not run between times).  The Export report does not
contain the deleted channel (or contain it marked for deletion).

So my question is, does incremental deployment with the SDAPI replicate
channel deletions or not?  If yes, under what circumstances?  If no,
well, why not and what is the recommended approach?

Thanks,

Chandy

Hi Chandy,

did you do incremental site deployment with a start channel?
Then this will not work if you deleted the channel from SiteManager as
delete in site manager is actually a move operation to the deleted items
folder.
Without a given start channel this should not happen.

You would have to run the following script to deploy deleted channel
explicitly:

Dim pCmsDeployExport
Dim shell
Dim pExportOptions

Set pCmsDeployExport = CreateObject("CmsDeployServer.CmsDeployExport.1")

pCmsDeployExport.AuthenticateAsCurrentUser

Set pExportOptions = pCmsDeployExport.Options

Dim strPackageFileName
Dim strReportUrl

' Specify where you want the export package to be placed.
strPackageFileName = "d:\export\export.sdo"

' Perform the export.
strReportUrl = pCmsDeployExport.Export(strPackageFileName, 0,
"{E4D1911E-9DD3-11D1-B44E-006097071264}")

' Display the report in the Web browser.
Set shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run "http://localhost" & strReportUrl, 7
WScript.Echo "Export complete."



Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for that.  Just to clarify, in your sample code, is the GUID you
used the GUID of the deleted channel?

Hi Chandy,

no this is the GUID of the deleted items folder.
You don't have to change this GUID as it is identical in all system..

Cheers,
Stefan.
