As I decided to embark on my PowerShell scripting journey and strolling through some new ideas, I chanced upon this requirement where I need to create few bundles and do some basic operation on that.

The plan was to create the script extensively so that everybody can use it. I have started with some basic operations like create bundle/bundles through PowerShell coreservice module. Though I have mentioned about the PowerShell module only, but I considered to keep C# version as well, so that anyone can pick as per their preference –

Here is the PowerShell Version –

To create the Bundle we have used below Parameter –

Code-

Process

{

$readOptions = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.ReadOptions;

$bundleSchema = $BundleSchemaId;

$folder = $Parent;

$virtualFolderTypeSchema = $client.GetVirtualFolderTypeSchema("http://www.sdltridion.com/ContentManager/Bundle");

$bundle = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.VirtualFolderData;

$MetadataSchema = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.LinkToSchemaData;

$TypeSchema = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.LinkToSchemaData;

$OrganizationalItem = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.LinkToOrganizationalItemData;

$LocationInfo = New-Object Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.LocationInfo;

$MetadataSchema.IdRef = $bundleSchema;

$TypeSchema.IdRef = $virtualFolderTypeSchema.Id;

$OrganizationalItem.IdRef = $folder;

$LocationInfo.OrganizationalItem = $OrganizationalItem;

$bundle.Id = "tcm:0-0-0";

$bundle.Title = $Title;

$bundle.Description = $Description;

$bundle.MetadataSchema = $MetadataSchema;

$bundle.TypeSchema = $TypeSchema;

$bundle.LocationInfo = $LocationInfo;

$bundle = $client.Create($bundle,$readOptions);

return $bundle.Id;

}

Example command to use this code -

$bundleid =  New-TridionBundle -Title $title -Description $Description -BundleSchemaId "tcm:5-403-8" -Parent $newFolder.Id

Write-Host "New Bundle Id :" $bundleid

In my case I have to create a no. of Bundles at the same time, so I have garnished my script like below –

// Here I am creating a new folder to store all the bundles at the same place

$newFolder = New-TridionItem -ItemType 2 -Parent tcm:5-27-2 -Name Bundles Write-Host "Folder Id: "

$newFolder.Id Write-Host "====================="

$count = 10;

for($i=0; $i -le $count;$i++)

{

$title = "My New Bundle ” + $i;

$Description = "Bundle along with updated component"

$bundleid =  New-TridionBundle -Title $title -Description $Description -BundleSchemaId "tcm:5-403-8" -Parent $newFolder.Id

Write-Host "New Bundle Id" $bundleid

Write-Host "====================="

}

As I mentioned above here is the code for C# Module:

public VirtualFolderData CreateBundle()
{
SchemaData bundleSchema = (SchemaData) coreServiceClient.Read("tcm:5-403-8", new ReadOption());
SchemaData virtualFolderTypeSchema = coreServiceClient.GetVirtualFolderTypeSchema(@"http://www.sdltridion.com/ContentManager/Bundle");
TcmUri folderId = new TcmUri(100, ItemType.Folder, 1);
VirtualFolderData bundle = new VirtualFolderData()
{
Id = "tcm:0-0-0",
Title = "Test Bundle Title",
Description = "Test Bundle Description",
MetadataSchema = new LinkToSchemaData()
{
IdRef = bundleSchema.Id
},
TypeSchema = new LinkToSchemaData()
{
IdRef = virtualFolderTypeSchema.Id
},
LocationInfo = new LocationInfo()
{
OrganizationalItem = new LinkToOrganizationalItemData()
{
IdRef = folderId
}
}
};
bundle = (VirtualFolderData) coreServiceClient.Create(bundle, new ReadOption());
return bundle;
}

You can find both the code here at one place. Hope you like this!

Cheers & Stay tuned to get the Coreservice PowerShell script to Add/Remove an item into/from Bundle.
