Greetings,

I was approached with these questions and was hoping to hear some welcome input.

1. Is there a way to create a select query to see if "Publish to this Destination by default" is enabled throughout the sites model against a standardized name publish target?

2. In the KB documentation there is a way to disable all publish targets via the following line:

UPDATE cxml_destination SET isEnabled=0;

Is there a way to disable a single publish target with a standardized name throughout the sites model?

   Hi,

   Is there a way to create a select query to see if "Publish to this Destination by default" is enabled throughout the sites model against a standardized name publish target?

   I imagine you could do something like this if you're just looking for a list of Destinations in each Site and whether or not they have that option checked:
   

   select d.id, d.name, d.path, d.isEnabled, d.checkedByDefault, s.name as "site" from cxml_destination d inner join cxml_site s on s.id = d.siteId
   

   In the KB documentation there is a way to disable all publish targets via the following line: UPDATE cxml_destination SET isEnabled=0;

   Is there a way to disable a single publish target with a standardized name throughout the sites model?

   If you're looking to disable all Destinations having a similar name, you would probably want to do something like this:
   

   update cxml_destination set isEnabled = 0 where name like '{standardized-name-%}'
   

   For example, if you had a Destination in Site A named Web Server - PROD - SiteA and then a Destination in Site B named Web Server - PROD - SiteB, disabling both of those would look like:
   

   update cxml_destination set isEnabled = 0 where name like 'Web Server - PROD -%'
   

   NOTE: Performing select queries on the database is fine, but you should always backup the database prior to any update commands just in case you need to restore. You'll also want to check in with us first (as you've done here) before updating any of the raw database data.

   Let me know if this helps.

   Thanks

   I think that about covers it. Thanks again Tim.
