Can you schedule automated publication builds?

Rhonda Fitzgerald

Is there a way to automatically generate output for a publication based on a schedule, for example nightly or weekly?  Furthermore, can the output from that build be automatically copied to a specified location?

    Hi Rhonda

    The APIs are all in place if you really need some custom flow as referenced by Charel.

    As a building block... What the business automation module ISHRemote (which uses the API) offers are functions to trigger a Publish (Publish-ISHPublicationOutput), check the publishing progress (Get-ISHPublicationOutput) and download the binary artefacts (Get-ISHPublicationOutputData) which in turn allows you to copy it.

    For the scheduling you can use any software (like Windows Scheduler) that triggers a PowerShell script.

    Besides that the ISHRemote code is publicly available as example code, see for example github.com/.../PublishIshPublicationOutput.cs
    A getting started with the PowerShell module is on github.com/.../ISHRemote

    Dear Sravan,

    Looking at the information and the script snippet you provided I think you can solve your issue by removing the -IshUserName and -IshPassword from the New-IshSession command.

    Some background reasoning why I propose this:

    - You state in your question that you are using ADFS authentication. This means that you will log on with the credentials you used to logon to your operating system. So you should not provide any username/password.

    - Using the Get-Help New-IshSession command in a powershell script window shows that the command can be invoked using only the -WsBaseUrl argument. This is referenced as the ActiveDirectoryAuthGroup arguments.

    You can see this in the screenshot below

    Screenshot of Trados Studio PowerShell script window showing the Get-Help New-IshSession command output with ActiveDirectoryAuthGroup arguments highlighted.

    I hope this helps resolving your issue

    Kind Regards,

    Raf
