How do I use Powershell to request a package build

[ArobMFS]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use PowerShell to have a package rebuild on request.

What I have so far is

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient

$client.Credentials = Get-Credential

$client.UploadString("http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service/,json/packages/ExportsFromProd/export-package.zip","param=build")

Can someone please advise where I am going wrong?

I would compare your http-request with the one from packagemanager.

Hi 

Please have a look at this slimier forum post:-

// Invoke-RestMethod Powershell for upload and install package in AEM not using cURL

Basically you need to checkout powershell equivalent of curl commands. Yous can find all curl commands at :- https://gist.github.com/sergeimuller/2916697

For example, "curl -u {user}:{pass} {url}" equivalent of powershell is

$webclient = new-object system.net.webclient;
$User = "user";
$PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString –String "P@sSwOrd" –AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList $User, $PWord;
$webclient.Credentials = $Credential;
$webclient.DownloadString('url');

You can even call crul commands from powershell, if this could help you
