8.3.2

Creates a differential deployment task to deploy changes made to specific DNS entities, such as resource records, to a managed DNS/DHCP Server.

Attention: You can only selectively deploy resource records to DNS/DHCP Servers operating on v8.3.2.
Attention: You must perform a full DNS deployment before proceeding to use the selective deployment API method.
Output/Response:

Returns a token string value of the deployment task.

Note: The selectiveDeploy method performs pre-deployment validation on resource records before they are deployed. If the validation of any resource record fails, the deployment also fails.

API call:

String selectiveDeploy ( long[] entityIds, String properties )
