Do you or your team have any suggestions for installing packs on remote servers that I don’t have shell/gui access to? I suppose I could get access or get our system admins to do it, but they don’t really want to be bothered by us software guys! So far they setup the SDC software and gave us admin access via the admin console, but I don’t see a way to install packs directly to the server.

Working script at http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?p=22930#p22930

Found part of the answer:
https://www.genuitec.com/sdc/docs/sdc_admin.html#appendix_e

So I built an ant script, but it fails at login. Anyone have experience with the ant scripts?
Yes the properties have been redacted in the snippets below.

Hello

To connect the ant task to the server you need put in the script your info.
In the section of properties you need replace the values:

<<passphrase>> = any you want (you need this to create the token)
<<token>> = this is created in the admin console in System/Advanced tap, and click in the button Request token.
<<host>> = host of your server
<<port>> = port of your server

Regards
Oscar Grajeda

I was clear that those had been redacted:

Yes the properties have been redacted in the snippets below.

[eglatz]

As suggested I have double checked all the property values.

[sdc-support]

We are Sorry, we missed that you change the real values. Are you running the ant task in the same machine that you have running the admin console, this is because the way to got this error is with wrong host/port or don’t have acces to the host.

Maybe you have a firewall or some antivirus active in the host and it is blocking the conection?

[eglatz]

I confirm that the admin console works from the same PC I am running the ant tasks from.

[eglatz]

Did some messing around, I find that if I run ant outside of MyEclipse it works! Wahoo! Thanks for the tips.

Is there a plan to integrate this functionality into the admin console?

Also is there a way to know what the expected id and version are for packages? I had to resort to trial and error.

Once I get them all figured out I’ll update the script.

[eglatz]

A working script: version is not required, although id is and it’s not always intuitive.

Yes, In SDC 2014 we are adding a Get Packs feature to the Admin Console. Using this feature, you’ll be able to discover and install packs without having to write a single line of Ant. In fact, you won’t even have to go to our web page. It’ll all happen directly in the Admin Console.

Best Regards,
Oscar Grajeda

Hi eglatz, SDC 2013 SR4 is here! you can take a look into the official documentation to see the new features: http://www.genuitec.com/sdc/docs/highlights/2013sr4/index.html

Best regards,
the SDC Team.
