db.enabled=true in database.properties

Matias

Hello,
I'm trying to configure a DataDeploy Mapping file similar to the FAQ sample in the SP Developer's guide. I followed the instructions to extract the Title from the /Content/Title element.
However, It didnt seem to be working until I set the db.enabled=true in database.properties.
The problem is that as soon I did that, OD asked me for a DataDeploy license.
The reason for it is that I'm using LSCS and I have a need to display Title and Summary of all Press Releases in a list.
Is there any other way to achieve this without having to retrieve the content for each press release?

You're barking up two completely different trees.

db.enabled=true was the LiveSite 3.1 way of doing dynamic content. It used DataDeploy to push content to a database using predefined schemas, and you therefore need DataDeploy AND a database for this purpose.

If you already have LSCS set up, you don't need db.enabled=true. The LSCS deployment will deploy your content along with any EAs to the database. It sounds like what you're looking for is
a) use workflow to set Title and Summary as extended attributes *before* you publish any press releases;
b) use the usual LSCS authoring deployment to push it out to LSCS; and
c) use an LSCS component in your page with an appropriate LSCS query that will return the results you seek (see the LSCS API)
