automating package creation

[chrisu168]

Hi,

I need to automate content package creation. I understand you can do this through curl to create/build/download the packages, my problem is that I do not know how to add a filter via the Command line any examples would be appreciated.

Thanks

What version of AEM (or CQ) are you using?

Assuming 5.5 or higher, you can use a format like the following:

curl -u <uid>:<pwd> -X POST -F 'path=<full_path_of_package>' -F 'packageName=<packageName>' -F 'groupName=<group_name>' -F 'version=<Version_Number>' -F 'filter=<array_of_filter_definitions_containing_root_and_pattern>' -F '_charset_=UTF-8'  http://<host>:<port>/crx/packmgr/update.jsp

See this page for a couple of examples:
