Hi,

When I create a advertisement from a legacy package-program using the String AdvertisementName doesn't make sense since the name is not given to the advertisement.

I checked in the advertsement properties in GUI and can't find the name anywhere. If I ignore the AdvertisementName property, it gives error. so should we anyway use this property and give some name eventhough it's not applied to the advertisement?

thanks,
peer

Hi Peer,

the AdvertisementName is the name of the Deployment 'Package' you create for a package. It is the name that shows up in the GUI / Console as the Deployment name.

I have used the settings below (also for 'legacy' Packages / Programs) and it works fine:

$newAdv.AdvertisementName = $item.ProgramName + "_" + $packageID.PackageID + "_" + $item.CollectionName
$newAdv.CollectionID      = $collID.CollectionID
$newAdv.PackageID         = $packageID.PackageID
$newAdv.ProgramName       = $item.ProgramName
$newAdv.RemoteClientFlags = "2096"
$newAdv.PresentTime       = $curDate
$newAdv.SourceSite        = $sitecode
$newAdv.TimeFlags         = "8193"
$advPath                  = $newAdv.Put()
