Automic Workload Automation

Hello,

We are in the process of trying to automate a release procedure which hopefully is going to include the following from the press of a button :) 

1. Create a new automic empty client
2. Assign an active agent to this empty client
3. Create users in empty client
3. Import xml file(s) containing all neccessary automic objects

Anyone have any useful links for any of this? I have seen mention of using powershell to do this.  I have a been using powershell a little already to make bulk updates to the xml created from automic.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi Daniel

WorkflowCommander here. You can make use of the ApplicationInterface API functionality in Powershell. My Powershell module is featuring more than 20 cleartext Cmdlets that allow you to do basic tasks like duplicating objects, importing / exporting objects from / to XML and so on.

It's easy to implement and extend. So if you're interested get in touch with me and I can send you a factsheet or arrange a live presentation.

Regards
Joel

P.S. also see blogpost on PhilippElmer.com (english):

Its not possibly to script both topics:
1. Create a new automic empty client
2. Assign an active agent to this empty client

This can be automated by Joels Workflow commander or (if you have JAVA Knowledge) per java API

for
3. Create users in empty client
3. Import xml file(s) containing all neccessary automic objects

you can import a transport case file containing users and objects (take care - passwords will be overwritten to default)

Cheers both for your responses .. I will let the powers that be decide which path we go down .. maybe back in touch.

Dan

Hello,

On the same vein ... whichever way we do the above, during that 'deployment' is it also possible to create predefined filter options for the user to use as below:

So when a user logs on they already have the options of TEST1 and TEST2?

after rummaging around in my Automic Toolbox I found 2 Java API jars for
1. Create a new automic empty client
2. Assign an active agent to this empty client

can be started from any os job or via batch file.

if you want I can hand it out to you.

If you have anything than that would be great ... my java knowledge is to say the least limited so any help would be much appreciated :)

Cheers,

Dan
