SharePoint 2010 Content Deployment
What is that, who should use that, and when that should be used
Prepared for:SharePoint Saturday Chicago
Date:October 16, 2010

2
What is it?
Microsoft says:
Content deployment deploys content from a source SharePoint Server 2010 site collection to a destination site collection. The complete source site collection can be deployed, or a subset of sites can be deployed.

3
What do I say it is?
Control
Security
Testing
Complexity

4
That’s great! I’m going to go use it right now!
Consider your particular scenario. Is it a good fit?
Farm Topologies are Completely Different
Servers have specific performance tuning requirements
Security concerns for content on the destination
What do you gain?
Control
Security
Testing
Complexity

5
Content Deployments are horrible! Isn’t there a better way?
Author on Production via an extended web application
Custom solution?
Backup and restore

6
So what do you need to pull this off?
Authoring and Production Farm
Use this for:
Internet-facing sites
Extranet sites with read-only access

7
Next step up…
Authoring, Staging, and Production Farms
Use this for:
Multi-stage approval process business requirement
Validating content that reflects production environment
Testing content with custom web parts and code

8
Now that is to big. What about the little guy?
Single Publishing Farm
Use this for:
Intranet deployments
External testing/validation is not needed
When one farm is all you have

9
I’m still interested….
Who gets it and who doesn’t…

10
The Details Please….
So what does it take to set this up?
A Path…
…is the road to get from A to B
A Job…
…is the car that drives you from A to B

11
Enough Talk! Let take a look at SharePoint…
Spin up that VM!

12
Common Pitfalls
Not enough Planning...
Plan for which server are the export import server
Plan content deployment paths
Plan job scheduling
Plan for large jobs

13
And the Complexity Continues…
Keep content in scope
I exported the child but not the parent
Use empty site collection as a destination (Not blank!)
Install required features on destination but don’t active
What's your patching level?
Don’t forget the language packs

14
So What new in SharePoint 2010?
Database Snapshots!
Import Settings
UnattachedContentDatabase
ExportFrontEndFileStreams
Removed Export part – ‘retry’ is gone
Custom deployment aware event handlers and feature activation code

15
Questions?
