DPS API & How to use it

[Former Community Member]

Is there an example of how to use the DPS API's or a community article? I want to be able to push out articles and folios using these API's.

Thanks

I dont think we have any community article on this !

Here is a community article on using the DPS API:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/working-with-dps-apis.html

However - I am not aware of any articles for AEM that shows using this API within AEM. I will look and post back if I find any such article.

Here is a Java API that may be helpful:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/adobe/cq/media/publishing/dps/fp/DPSFolioProduce...

I will look to see if there are code examples using this API.

AEM already supports uploading articles into DPS.  What are you trying to do beyond what is supported via the console?

Those APIs are not documented explicitly as they were not intended to be used.

Also, with the introduction of DPS2015 the DPS classic support will be deprecated in favour of the integration with DPS2015.

That link does not have any java API only JavaScript could be found. If anyone has an article or link that would be greatly

appreciated!

I wanted to automate the ingestion of folios living on AEM to DPS. From what I see in the API's, they have functions which can do this which I want to incorporate in a workflow.

Classic uploads use a workflow to do that which you should find in the workflow console. You can reuse that workflow or just the process(es) it uses.

Any help on this please?

Creating and invoking workflows are already documented and should help with what you are trying to do.

The DPS Upload workflow can be seen at;

http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/admin/console/content/models.html/etc/workflow/models

http://localhost:4502/cf#/%252Fetc%252Fworkflow%252Fmodels%252Fdps%252Fupload-content.html

That workflow can be edited or copied depending on what you need.

It contains/users 2 steps 'Upload HTMLResources to DPS' and 'Upload to DPS' which can also be reused in your own workflow if needed.

You can invoke this workflow from http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/admin/console/content/models.html/etc/workflow/models which is the same workflow the DPS console uses.  Workflows can also be invoked via workflow apis or post operations.

btw, AEM's DPS2015 integration uses individual post operations rather than a workflow. Reuse and automation will be easier with DPS2015 as a result.

I'm currently on AEM 6.0, don't have the 6.1 upgrade just yet. The links you provided me earlier don't work possibly because it's a 6.1 local instance?

Anywho, I managed to work something up with the following code here but I keep getting a null point exceptions even though my password & username is correct:

public class DpsBuilder{ private static DPSSessionService sessionService; private static DPSSession dpsSession = null; private static DPSFolioProducerService folioProducer; public static void main(String[] argv){ try { dpsSession = sessionService.createSession("username", "password"); String url = dpsSession.getServiceURL(); System.out.println(url); folioProducer = dpsSession.adaptTo(DPSFolioProducerService.class); folioProducer.deleteFolio("test"); sessionService.deleteSession(dpsSession); } catch (DPSSessionServiceException ex) { System.out.println("ERROR"); } catch (DPSFolioProducerServiceException e) { System.out.println("Delete Folio failed"); } } }

Thanks!
