Publishing Targets Tridion 2011

We are using Tridion 2011 SP1 and DD4T framework.

We have websites in both Staging and Live servers. We have published to both the servers from Tridion 2011 SP1 using different targets (Staging and Live). Now i am planning to add staging servers into Live target, So while publishing to Live it will be published to staging also. I am not going to use Staging target after this.

Here my question is. Will it create any problem or any issues in this. Does it have any disadvantage?

Thanks, Jagadeesh.

So, all you want to do is to publish to Staging also when you publish to Live?

If this is all you want to do, then the easiest is to chain both Publication Targets with the same Target Type. Open the Staging Publication Target and in the advanced tab, link it with the Live Target type (and unlink it from the Staging Target Type).

You should probably also remove the Staging Target Type so as to not confuse your editors.

PS - I am answering here, but your question is not a Stack Overflow/Programming question. You should have asked this in serverfault instead.

2nd part of the question: Will it cause issues? Think why you had staging to begin with, since you're going to lose that now. You are probably removing the ability to implement Experience Manager (ex-SiteEdit), but maybe that's not a requirement. Staging is also typically a smaller environment. If you're doing this because you need more capacity on your Live server, then you should have considered buying a new server instead, and linking it to the same database (since you're using DD4T there's no nastyness related to file system replication or multiple deployers).
