XML and the PowerCLI Scripting Edition

Good then I am using PowerCLI to do Automation more boring tasks that need to be repeated. But now I'm stuck because I do not understand how to enter commands in the window PowerCLI and creating XML scripts that are called by a manually scheduled task.

Is there training there or good articles on how to go to the manual entry of orders from command line and in scripts development of really?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

See you soon,.

I assume you are talking about PowerShell scripts and not the XML scripts?

You can find a good intro to PowerShell scripts in Chapter 10 of free PowerShell ebookTobias.

  • Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

    Hello

    I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

    Thank you.

    $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

    You set a Datastorecluster?

    If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

    Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

    But you can use something like this

    New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

    This will automatically select the VMHost.

    The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

    DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

  • Collection for the PowerCLI scripting requirements

    Someone at - it a good model that helps you organize information, gathering process when you go to the management or to a customer to get for scripts and automation requirements that they want to do?  Y at - it a Web page or a book that puts this kind of thing in a structured methodology or at least one practical how to guide?

    For example, what kinds of questions should I go to make sure that I understand any of my script is supposed to do and help the management or the customer understand what THEY want to do, and get a consensus agreement on the functional requirements for my powerCLI script?

    Your suggestions of entry, welcome masters strategies.

    This question is not really unique for PowerCLI scripting, but all scripts/programs, to write (for yourself or for a customer |).

    And of course, there are always the classic answer "it depends".

    If it is a small task that you write yourself, the requirements are pretty obvious.

    Most of the time, you have the requirements in your head, but it does not have to write in schematic form.

    When you write for a customer, by definition be more formal (I guess).

    An article I like, is the Introduction to gather our creative use cases and requirements published in the Code review.

  • XML and the data recovery

    Hey,.

    Not sure if this is the right section on the forum:

    I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve data from an XML page.

    For example, I want to create a BBApp that can request a XML page and once it has loaded to extract all of the appropriate fields and load them into a graphical user interface - without actually loading the page, basically I just want to create demand and get the XML Source Code and mine through this XML Source data.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jovinus Sveinbjornsson

    Hi Eva,

    This can easily be done in a BlackBerry Widget.  You will use the built in support of AJAX and the XMLHttpRequest object.

    You can retrieve the contents of the XML file via an AJAX call.  When it returns can then access the property of '.responseXML' which has already crawled your XML DOM document.  Just to make sure to whitelist the domain in the config.xml file to allow access to that external resource.  There are a bunch of samples and videos that explain this concept.

    You would then just browse XML and create your HTML code to reflect your data and insert it into the page.  A good tutorial on AJAX can be found here:

    http://www.w3schools.com/AJAX/default.asp

    Now for some advice

    If you are recovering data and then display as Web content within a widget, I would really recommend format of that content on the server in its HTML markup before sending it to your Widget in the AJAX request.  The reason why I recommend this is that there is a lot of manipulation of the DOM creating HTML nodes if you look at the raw XML data that is returned.

    If you flip it over already in HTML server-side, you can simply replace an item on your web page using innerHTML.  On a device mobile, if you can offload the work to a server it certainly helps performance.

  • InDesign, export XML and the Task FORCE

    As a producer of a weekly, I need advice as to generate xml from Indesign CC (Mac) data standards NITF, at the choice of my digital Distributor. This includes dividing an article - that can be formatted in single text - in two equal elements: one for the title, signature, etc. and one for the body of the text. Is it possible to do without altering the original route, intended for printing? I would rather not have to break an image into two just for this purpose - for each article in the newspaper. In short: an image, an ACE, maybe two items, the head and the body? There is no shortage of advice around xml, nor on the NITF standard for dress news, but I have yet to find the one dealing with both. Thanks in advance.

    If I understand correctly, you just need to label the elements properly. To use a simple example, if I have a single image of text that contains a header and body text, I would create two tags, one for the title and one for the body. Then, I select the heading and apply the tag title and made similarly to the body. When you export to xml format, you will have two items with the title tag and the other with the body tag.

    I am ignorant as to the requirements of the Task FORCE, and so you need anew XSLT to perform on the exported XML file that would comply with the standard. I do not know because I am not aware of it. This part, if necessary I would do in an xml editor or a good text editor who may be able to it's needs.

  • copyright in the powercli script symbol

    I need to print the copyright symbol when a powercli script is run.

    but,

    It prints just a 'c '.

    no idea how to get this printed on the screen

  • Reference pages directory and the directory script

    I have a small question on the reference to an include() file.

    Let's say I'm on a Web page if there is a simple html login form and this page are in the directory called PAGES. The script for this form action is found in a file different ina directory named SCRIPTS.

    The principle, I am trying to understand is:

    If the connection is successful, then the user get access to the site. Now, since the form is located in a directory, but the form script is in another, where is the origin of the link, which will bring the user to the site?  the login page with the shape origin or the script for the original form?

    > even if the user is currently on the form?

    If I understand the workflow you use, the visitor submits the form which is processed by "scripts/login.php". This script has the redirect code - so the url (mainpage.php) location is relative "scripts/login.php". So be, the redirect will fail unless mainpage.php is also in the scripts folder. If you need to enter the relative path of the correct document, or use a relative path from the root or an absolute path.

    Once the user submits the form, they are more "on the form. They are on the page specified in the action of the form - even if there is no html code on this page.

  • XML and the XMLDocument API confusion

    Maybe I read this wrong or missing something, but it seems that there is a circular reference in the XML and XMLDocument API. I began reading on the use of XML and can't follow what objects should be used.

    Quote:

    Note: The XML class (along with related classes) go ActionScript 2.0 has been renamed XMLDocument and moved into the flash.xml package. It is included in ActionScript 3.0 for backward compatibility.
  • Import Excel to use with the PowerCLI script file

    I would try to ingest the VMware Hardening guide Excel file and then use it to run a script on some columns as column "configuration setting.

    If I can get the "Configuration parameter'"desired value""Default value"and"ID of the guideline"a powershell script, it would be easy from there.

    Someone did he do something like that or it can crack in Powershell?

    If you save the HG as XLSX file, just open the XLS and save under a XLSX in Excel, you can use the function import - Excel of Finke.

    Yes, this triggers a stop through the guest OS.

  • Muse Business Catalyst and the customer text edition

    Can Muse Web sites cause editability of the customer text if published and hosted with catalyst for business?

    At the present time there is no client mount support Muse published sites. If you do not enable client Business Catalyst editing features, all changes are not compatible with the Muse. They will not appear in Muse and they can be replaced by future publishing operations of Muse.

    We will work to enable the functionality of the client update in future updates of Muse, but he will not be part of the next quarterly update.

    Currently, the box in British Colombia that allows you to activate the client editing feature is useful if the workflow should be only a means. A site is created and republished in Muse, then never updated day/re-published Muse (as this could therefore overwrite any changes have been made using the client edition feature).
