Title: Automated project transfer from DBMS to EAP file.
Post by: Stefan Thielebein on November 06, 2009, 07:47:21 pm

I want to automate the process to transfer a project from a database repository (in my case Oracle) and an EAP file.

This project transfer could be done manually with the tool option:
Tools/Data Management/Project Transfer

Has anyone an idea how to realise this as an automatic job each night to get a backup from the project to version it?

Please help.

Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,

I don't think the "Project Transfer" command is available from within the API, but why don't you explain exactly what you are trying to achieve (requirements wise), there might be a better solution then to use project transfer.

Indeed, back in 2009 it was not available yet, now it is.

This has been asked somewhere else as well.  The Powershell snippet below can be run from a scheduler to automate the process.  All the caveats about having a user logged into an interactive session still apply.

Code: [Select]

# Create the EA object
$ea = New-Object -ComObject "EA.Repository" -Strict

# Get the project interface
$project = $ea.GetProjectInterface()

# Do the repository replication
$project.ProjectTransfer("<SourceFilePath>", "<TargetFilePath>", "<TransferLog>")

# Close the session and exit
$ea.Exit()

Yeah! I just found that it was present in 9.3 (though this version was not Java-complete). You never stop learning.
