Prevent Transport Package being deployed

Question

We are using Tridion 2011 SP1. Content Delivery is in .Net.

We want to make only Transport Package available to Search engine. This Search engine will extract required content/metadata from transport package and will index it. Search engine is installed on different domain/Server.

To achieve this we want to configure a Publication Target which will publish the content to search engine’s server but will not deploy the content. Only Transport Package will be made available in some folder (incoming\success). Can we do it using HttpUpload.aspx and by disabling some settings in cd_storage_config or cd_deployer_conf.

Answer 1

The standard approach for this would be to extend the CD storage process. You can find a good explanation of how to do this at http://www.sdltridionworld.com/articles/sdltridion2011/tutorials/extending-content-delivery-storage-sdltridion-2011-1.aspx
