SDL web 8 | Multiple Publication same target Mapping

Question

Is it possible to map multiple publications with same target location So that pages published with all publications can have same destination. I have a publication called "A" which publish the pages to Staging and Live Target.

I have another publication"B" added which inherits publication "A". I can see the targets in publication B , I can see the option for publishing but when I click publish button It doesn't send the page to publishing queue.

This is the result of get-ttmmapping command.

CmEnvironmentId     : Tridioncm_local
PublicationId       : tcm:0-1-1
EnvironmentPurpose  : Staging
WebApplicationId    : web8Stagingdemo_RootWebApp
RelativeUrl         : /
PrimaryMappedUrl    : http://web8stagingdemo:82/
IsOffline           : False
CdEnvironment       :
Id                  : web8StagingdemoMapping
ExtensionProperties : {}

I am trying to add mapping something like this but it doesn''t work.

Add-TtmMapping -Id web8StagingdemoENMapping -PublicationID tcm:0-4-1 -WebApplicationId web8Stagingdemo_RootWebApp

Answer 1

You can map multiple Publications to the same Web Application, as long as you ensure they have distinct URLs. This means that each Mapping in Topology Manager (for the same Web Application) must have a distinct RelativeUrl property.

Note that the RelativeUrl defaults to empty, so you will have to specify it explicitly on the Add-TtmMapping command.

Answer 2

It has been resolved by creating a new webApplication with a unique id, adding it to the existing website with the relative url. Then map this unique webapplication id to the publication.
