For example, if one developer sets it to run each every day at 3 PM. If there is a need that each developer has ApexSQL Diff installed on his machine, then each developer needs to set this process to be run on a schedule, at a specific time, that will slightly different from other developers, to avoid collisions.
Powershell sync folders code#
In the example below, code is used to iterate thru a file which has a list of local databases by SQL Server name. If a new developer is added or one leaves the team, the list that contains server and database names can be easily edited to add/remove a server/database If there are differences, perform the synchronization process
Powershell sync folders windows#
Windows authentication is used in our exampleĬompare the current local database against the shared script folder Login to each individual developer database is required. This single instance of ApexSQL Diff will need to be able to see all of the local SQL Servers used by developers, on the network If one installation of ApexSQL Diff will control all synchronizations to a shared script folder, the whole setup will be: The installation setup can be done in two different ways: Additionally, a text file can be created that will contain server and database names for all developers and the created script will iterate through all of them, and conduct the comparison and synchronization process for each developer database.Īlong with the performed synchronization, ApexSQL Diff will create date stamped HTML comparison reports of the changes and the output summary files.
Powershell sync folders update#
In this example that will be described in this article, the comparison will be scheduled every 30 minutes, if there are any differences between a shared script folder and a database, a synchronization will be executed to update the shared folder, this “poor man’s” source control repository, with changes from one of the developer’s local databases. It can be automatized using its CLI and scheduled to be run at specific time/date unattended. In this article, a tool – ApexSQL Diff will be shown as a tool that is up for this challenge, as it offers comparison of databases to script folders. In that case, it would be useful to have date stamped comparison reports and output files that would contain all information about changes. Additionally, the whole process should be able run unattended, when developers want to perform synchronization on a click or to schedule it. Once differences are reviewed, they should be able to select specific/all objects that he wants to synchronize to a shared script folder. If any developer makes any change to their local database, they’ll need a tool that will compare the current state of their local database against the shared script folder to update those changes on the shared folder, and to also update their local development database with changes from all of the other developers on their team, via the shared folder. The challenge now is to keep the shared folder up to date with changes made by all developers This shared folder will contain scripts of all database objects e.g. In the following team example, everyone works with their own local copy of a database for development purposes but they will write all changes to a shared, central file folder: One approach is to create a folder that is located on a shared network location, to which all developers have access and essentially use this as a “poor man’s source control repository. In such cases, the team needs to think of another way of “uploading” their database changes in one place, comparing and even synchronizing them. Start-process -filepath $($uri.In some cases, source control systems are not an option for a particular SQL developer team, due to cost concerns, lack of approval etc., but the requirements for such a system, or close approximation, for managing changes across the developer team can still be a priority. $uri.Query = "siteId=$siteId&webId=$webId&listId=$listId&userEmail=$userEmail&webUrl=$webUrl&listTitle=$listTitle&webTitle=$webTitle"
When I use the attached script, I get "We can't sync this folder right now" as User1 does not have access to the site or root of the document library. Is there a way to script it to sync just folder 2?
IE: User 1 has no permissions to the site or root folder of the document library, but has contribute permission to \site\documents\Folder1\Folder2 What I want to achieve is syncing just a specific folder within a document library. I am trying to adapt a script that syncs an entire document library.
