Products
Campaign products from the source site catalogue were added when the campaign was created.
Unavailable Products
If a product code does not exist on a target site, deployment still completes.
- If a product code exists but is 'inactive' on the target site, the product is added to the campaign but the campaign will not display that product to customers.
- If a product code doesn't exist on the target site, it will not be added to the campaign on the target site.
- If a campaign product is deleted on the source site and the campaign is re-deployed, the product remains on the target site.
Deploying Locked/Unlocked Status
- First deployment of a campaign: must be LOCKED. NOTE - The Deploy button will not open the Deploy popup if there are no locked campaigns.
- LOCKED → UNLOCKED of previously deployed campaign: unlock the campaign, then deploy. Only the unlocked status will be copied over.
- UNLOCKED → LOCKED: relock campaign on source site, then deploy. This will deploy the locked status and any data changes since the last deployment.
Locked Campaigns on target sites

Troubleshooting Campaign Deployment
Non-existent Products
A deployment will only add a product to a deployed campaign if the product code exists on the target site. If the code is not found, the product is omitted. When this occurs, the deployment will still be flagged as successful. Before deployment, check that products and their codes are available on a target site.
SEO URL Naming Conflict
To ensure SEO URL best practices are kept, deployment will fail if the SEO URL for a deployed campaign matches a pre-existing campaign's on a target site. On the source site, change the SEO URL on the source site, then redeploy.
