• Connection Security
• Temporary Files
• Reporting
Configure Destination
Farm

Activate Feature in Source Site Collection

not specify template
OR
• New-SPSite –Url http://siteurl –
OwnerAlias “sharePointlabpgbhoyar”

• Name
• Source Web
Application and Site
Collection

Troubleshooting Steps
34

Troubleshooting Steps

• De active all the features until the error messages disappear
• Painful 10-30 minutes …

• Path
• SQL Snapshots
• Scope
• Frequency
• Notification
• Create Content Deployment Job

Types of Content Deployment Jobs
• Full
 Deploys all the content

 Only for Publishing Pages
 No dependent list/library and other assets
 Requires Publishing Infrastructure Feature Enabled

 No File system Changes
43
Common Misconceptions

45
Common Issues and Fixes
 Latency between when the content is
authored/published and when it is
live
 Authors having direct access to
Target
 Content Deployment job is stuck
 Custom Solutions modifying target
contents

PowerShell Commands
• To Display Deployment Paths Configured on the Farm
• Get-SPContentDeploymentPath
• Display Deployment Jobs Configured on the Farm
• Get-SPContentDeploymentJob
• Get a Specific Content Deployment Job
• $job = Get-SPContentDeploymentJob -Identity “JobName“
• To Get a Specific Content Deployment Path
• $path = Get-SPContentDeploymentPath -Identity "PathName“

48
• Identical Updates in Source and
Destination Farms
• Create the target site collection with no
template
• Do not modify the contents directly in
Target Site
• Run Deployment Jobs at different time
intervals
• In production restart the Timer Services
using command
• “Get-SPTimerJob job-timer-recycle | Start-
SPTimerJob”
Best Practices

 Contents in the Target are dynamic
 Users will edit the contents in the Target System
 Better alternatives are available like Cross Site
Publishing of SharePoint 2013
