We have this requirement to consume data
from SQL and create Tridion components and automate this process
as well like schedule this in task scheduler and run periodically
Create WCF RestFull service
· Create
Service contract which are exposed by the service to the outside world
In IRestService.cs
[ServiceContract]
public interface IRestService
{
[OperationContract(Name = "CallServiceData")]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/CallServiceData")]
string CallServiceData();
}
· Implement interface member .Here we
will call our Business layer SQL stored procedure and serializing the data
public class RestService : IRestService
{
public string CallServiceData ()
{
try
{
NameSearchGeneration.Process();
Logger.WriteLog(Logger.LogLevel.ERROR, " Successfully executed CallServiceData ");
Output
= "True";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Logger.WriteLog(Logger.LogLevel.ERROR, ex.Message + "Error While Calling
CallServiceData ");
}
return Output;
}
}
· In Business layer create a
class NameSearchGeneration and method process() from here we will import sql data
List<Articles> Articles = Helper.GetImportXmlData();
· Create model for Article get all the
SQL data and bind in article model
[DataContract]
[Serializable]
public class Articles
{
[XmlElement("title")]
[DataMember]
public string Title { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Description")]
[DataMember]
public string Description { get; set; }
}
· Serialize article data
using Serialize using System.Xml.Serialization;
foreach (Articles p in ArticlesList)
{
string serializeXml = "";
bool bln = Serialize<Articles>(p, ref serializeXml);
}
And
return the list to List<Articles> Articles
· Create your core service client ISessionAwareCoreService
coreService = CoreServiceFactory.GetCoreServiceContext(new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CoreServiceURL"].ToString()), new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserName"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Domain"].ToString()));
public static class CoreServiceFactory
{
public static ICoreServiceFrameworkContext GetCoreServiceContext(Uri endpointUri, NetworkCredential windowsNetworkCredentials)
{
switch (endpointUri.Scheme.ToLower())
{
case CoreServiceConnectionScheme.wsHttp:
return GetWsHttpContext(endpointUri,
windowsNetworkCredentials);
case CoreServiceConnectionScheme.netTcp:
return GetNetTcpContext(endpointUri,
windowsNetworkCredentials);
default:
throw new ArgumentException("The uri
connection scheme specified [{0}] is invalid; a valid scheme (ie. http for
WsHttp, or net.tcp for NetTcp must be specified).");
}
}
public static ICoreServiceFrameworkContext GetWsHttpContext(Uri endpointUri, NetworkCredential windowsNetworkCredentials)
{
return new CoreServiceFrameworkWsHttpContext(endpointUri,
windowsNetworkCredentials);
}
public static ICoreServiceFrameworkContext GetNetTcpContext(Uri endpointUri, NetworkCredential windowsNetworkCredentials)
{
return new CoreServiceFrameworkNetTcpContext(endpointUri,
windowsNetworkCredentials);
}
}
· Read schema using
coreservic client
SchemaFieldsData schemaFieldData =
coreService.Client.ReadSchemaFields(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SchemaID"].ToString(), true, new ReadOptions());
· Using foreach on
article list we will create component in Tridion using coreservice client and
publish them .
foreach (Articles p in Articles)
{
string serializeXml = "";
bool bln = Helper.Serialize<Articles>(p, ref serializeXml);
string xml = serializeXml;
string tcmuri = TridionComponent.GenerateComponent(coreService,
xml, Helper.SetPublication(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FolderLocation"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SchemaID"].ToString()), Helper.SchemaType.Component, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FolderLocation"].ToString);
try
{
TridionComponent.Publish(tcmuri, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PublicationFolderLocation"].ToString(), coreService);
Logger.WriteLog(Logger.LogLevel.ERROR, "Component is published successfully");
}
·
In GenerateComponent method we will first check if component
exist or not
o If exist we will
update and re-publish
o If not then we will
create and publish
·
Here I am searching component based on its title
TridionObjectInfo tridionObjectInfo = Helper.GetTridionObject(coreService, ItemType.Component, folderUri, Title);
if (tridionObjectInfo.TcmUri
!= null)
{
componentData = (ComponentData)coreService.Client.Update(componentData, new ReadOptions());
}
else
{
componentData
= (ComponentData)coreService.Client.Create(componentData, new ReadOptions());return componentData.Id.ToString();}
· You need to have following configurable
values in your config files
<appSettings>
<!--Tridion User credentials
UserName/Password to run the core service-->
<add key="UserName" value="" />
<add key="Password" value=" " />
<add key="Domain" value=" " />
<add key="CoreServiceURL" value="http://domain/webservices/CoreService2011.svc/wsHttp" />
<!-- publication ID is requried-->
<add key="PublicationID" value="21" />
<!-- publication target ID is requried-->
<add key="PublicationFolderLocation" value="tcm:0-1-65538" />
<!-- Connection String is requried-->
<add key ="ConnectionString" value="Data
Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=SQLTridionData;User
ID=article;Password=123456;"/>
<!-- Name of the SP requried-->
<add key="SqlProcedureTogetData" value="spName" />
<!--Folder TcmId where components gets
saved/created-->
<add key="FolderLocation" value="tcm:0-111-2" />
<!--Schema Id of Article Schema-->
<add key="SchemaID" value="tcm:1-1111-8" />
</appSettings>
This way you can automate
the process of creating component and publish from SQL data feed
Happy Coding and keep Sharing !!!!
