The Start-SPContentDeploymentJob cmdlet starts a content deployment job.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Cmdlet.SPContentDeploymentJobPipeBind | Specifies the content deployment job to run. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a content deployment job (for example, DeployJob1); or an instance of a valid SPContentDeploymentJob object. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

| Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
| DeploySinceTime | Optional | System.String | Specifies the date to use to determine what changes to export incrementally. This parameter is ignored if the deployment job type is full. The type must be a valid DateTime type, in the form 2010,12,05. | ||
| TestEnabled | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Runs the content deployment job in test mode only. | ||
| WaitEnabled | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Specifies that the command is not returned until the operation is complete. | ||
| WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
