Yet Another Tridion Blog

As a follow-up on the previous post  Move Items Between Publications , I created a simple command line utility that promotes or demotes an item using Core Service.

The walkthrough below shows a Component being promoted from Publication " 010 Schema " to Publication " 020 Content ". Initially, "My Article" resides in Publication "010 Schema" In its or...
