Quick repost

This method instantly requeues the latest Posts for a given Job to selected Portals.

No PCP will be generated, and Config, Job, or Posts data cannot be updated in the process - for each Portal, the data is sent as-is, identical to the latest successful Post, and added to the Posting Queue immediately.

For most Portals, reposting a Job that already has a successful active Post to the given Portal, will result in that Post being updated on the website; however, whether the update happens ultimately depends on the website's setup, as well as the individual Post's current status and configuration. The idibu system will not be able to determine whether the Posting is an update until it receives an appropriate response from the Portal - which, within the Job's detailed view method's response, will be indicated by the <status> element's value under the given <posting> element.
