    Additional Information

    • A publisher cannot be created with a Method of “None”, it must be FTP, Email, AmazonS3 Azure, Dropbox, Google Cloud, or Google.
    • A publisher will only update the fields related to your Method (i.e – If Method is FTP, only the common optional fields and the FTP fields will be updated).
    • If you are creating a new publisher any fields you don’t provide (that are not required), will be set to default values.
    • If you have manually setup a schedule for your publisher in the Web Console’s publish dialog, then do not provide the PublishWhenAgentCompletes parameter or the schedule will be deleted.
