Quick Deployment Job failing when no item in Quick deploy item list

Question

I have a content deployment job from one server to another....content deployment job works fine but when I turn on Quick Deploy job it start showing me system event error...

I later figured it out that quick deploy is working fine if there is atleast one item in quick deploy items list otherwise its giving me error.

In quick deploy settings I put it as after every 30 minutes so I am getting error after every 30 minutes in system event....

Answer 1

I found out that if we have any item in our authoring environment which needs to get to Production in quick deployment list...we are not getting this error...so i just find the workaround for now by deploying any page after setting up my content deployment jobs...that way I am not getting this issue....
