Create a New Deployment Job

Scenario/Problem: You need to setup and configure a new deployment job.

Solution: Use the New-SPContentDeploymentJob cmdlet.

Setting up a new deployment job involves mapping the source web application and site to a target web application and site. You can use the New-SPContentDeploymentJob cmdlet to facilitate this mapping, as shown in Listing 10.5

Listing 10.5. Creating a New Content Deployment Job

New-SPContentDeploymentJob -Name "Marketing Deployment Job" -SPContentDeploymentPath "Marketing Internet Content"

The -SPContentDeploymentPath is the name of the deployment path used for this deployment job.

Note

A content deployment path must be configured first before a content deployment job can be created.
