Chapter 23: Site Deployment

This chapter looks at two ways of transferring MCMS objects from one server to another, using the Site Deployment Manager and scripting incremental updates to a site as console applications using the Site Deployment API and discusses some differences between using the Site Deployment Manager and the Site Deployment API. It compares the server-side deployment API and the client-side deployment API and also provides some food for thought when planning for contingencies.
