I have a requirement to mark one Publication as unpublished to all publication types/targets.

As I see it I have a few options

  1. Unpublish each item, from each target it is published to using

client.UnPublishAsync(new[] { itemId }, unpubInstruction, new[] { targetId }, PublishPriority.Low, readOptions);

  1. Run a database script (not ideal and not supported)

  2. Find alternative to the SDL Web 8 (CoreService201501) function

client.RemovePublishStates(publicationId, targetTypeIdOrPurpose)

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to option 3 in Tridion 2013 SP1 (CoreService2013)?

I don't think so. I think RemovePublishStates was added in Web 8 to support backup/restoration and subsequent synchronisation between the CM and broker databases. 2013 SP1's API just allows you to decommission entire targets, so it's probably option 1 for you in this case.

  • I can't decommission an entire target, as it is just one publication that I need to remove publish state for

    It looks like David has answered your question. So you could decommission, but then you'd have to publish the rest again, which reduces it to a theoretical-only option. That leaves you with option 1. However, you might also consider first setting up a replacement publication target, selectively publishing things as you desire, and then switching over to that, allowing you to decommission the original.

  • Answer edited... I meant to specify "Option 1" as being the one for you but omitted the 1!

  • Option 1 it is. I have 300 other websites, so unpublishing one is better than re-publishing 300 :) Thanks!
