Import Workflow with PowerShell

[mwpreston]

So I've been working on a powershell script to export all of my workflows out of one vCO server and then import them back in to another

I've got the export working great!

That said, can't figure out the code to import back in - wondering if anyone knows how to do so....

$body = "file=$(get-content C:\workflows\ConfigureNTP.zip -raw)"

Invoke-RestMethod -URi $categoryuri -Method POST -body $body -Credential $cred

-ContentType "application/zip" -Headers @{"Content-Disposition"="form-data";"name"="configureNTP";"filename"="configureNTP.zip";}

Keep getting a 415 status - server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method...

I have no clue   - but I'm trying   Just wondering if anyone has accomplished this before with the Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet

[mwpreston]

and/or curl syntax would do?  And/or vCO javascript syntax

This one worked on my PC

See attached script & sample workflow

.\import-workflow.ps1 -vcoHost xx.xx.xx.xx -user vcoadmin-pass vcoadmin -categoryId 8a978cc84509e09c01450a18f9bc0013 -file C:\Temp\Content_byte1.workflow

And sample request should look like so

https://10.23.12.72:8281/vco/api/workflows?overwrite=true

== Headers ==

Authorization                  Basic YWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjp2bXdAcmUx                                                                                    

Accept                         application/zip                                                                                                       

Accept-Encoding                gzip,deflate,sdch

You are a savior!!!!!

I had to change line 71 to $file.FullName instead of $file.Name since I wasn't running under the same directory as the workflow exports - but all in all - works perfectly!!!!

$b = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($file.FullName)

You are awesome!  Thanks so much!  Now I just need to learn what you did

Thanks so much!  I'm working on a couple of scripts for migration, in which I'll probably end up posting on my blog - none the less I'll post back here and give you the credit due!!!

Thanks again!

Glad to hear that.

Here is also corresponding export-workfow.ps1

In case anyone need it.

NOTE: there were a couple minor errors in the export script that I have resolved.

I have added both the import-workflow.ps1 (with updated line 71) and export-workflow.ps1 to my github repository here: http://bit.ly/vroClientScripts
