Can the Synchronizer for CSV be used by a powershell script?

Hello,

The synchronizer is an entry that can be "opened" like all others. The Open-RDMSession should do the trick.

An alternative would be to go in the advanced properties of the synchronizer, where you will find the command line to launch that session, it may be easier and you can launch that from your powershell script too.


Best regards,

Thanks. Will try that soon.

Using Get-RMDSession I found the "Sync" session template and used Open-RDMsession to bind to the template. How do I start the sync session ?

$RDMTemplate = Get-RDMSession | Where-Object{$_.Kind -like "Sync"}
$TemplateSess = Open-RDMSession -ID $RDMTemplate.ID
Thanks, Stu

Maurice,
I'm trying to get the CSV Synchronizer to work and I'm thinking I need to define the template. But, I cannot find anything that documents the template for RPD entries or any other type?

Hello,


Whenever a new entry is created, it is completely blank. When you specify a template, we start with that instead. Fields that are specified in the import file will be used to overwrite the corresponding fields of the entry.

Templates can either be local (on the machine) or shared (in the datasource).

So by specifying the template name in the synchronizer, new entries will be based on that template.


Best regards,

I have not been able to get the sync to work at all.
I've created RDP Template, stored it as shared and assigned it to the Synchronizer object. I've opened it manually, via Open-RDMSession and via command line. I don't get any errors or any type of feedback that it executed.

My CSV header line is:
Host,Name,Template,ConnectionType,SubMode,Group,Username,Domain,Password,URL,Expiration,Parent,Port

I just manually did an import via the RDM Gui with my CSV file and selecting the shared template. Worked beautifully. Synchronizer still does not work. Version is 11.5.1.0

Hello Stuart,

Could you please try version 11.5.4.0? There were some issues with the synchronizer;

If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.


Best regards,

Solved my problem and synchronization worked as expected. Added and deleting from the CSV worked against the datasource. Next step is getting the whole process working under the Task Scheduler for unattended usage.

Thanks, Stu
