I want to set a schedule that moves a copy of a presentation from my pre-prod folder to my prod folder. I want it to overwrite the copy every time. Is there a way to do this via the API or some other method?

Hi

Unfortunately no, not in the general UI. This could be achieved using the Pyramid API (https://help.pyramidanalytics.com/Content/Root/developer/reference/APIs/REST%20API/API3/content/changeItemFolder.htm?tocpath=Tech%20Reference%7CAPIs%7CMain%20API%20and%20SDKs%7CAPI%203.0%20Methods%7CContent%20APIs%7C_____6) though and writing your own scheduling routine.

Hi  ,

This can be accomplished, here are some API’s that will help, scripted in Python:

Step 1: Authentication – First step would be to generate a token which is required to execute the rest of the steps.

·         Authenticate via API /API3/authentication/authenticateUser

Note: Update url_base to your specific pyramid URL. Insert your username and password on aUser and password

·         Alternatively, copy the token from pyramid home page (System Info)

Step 2: Export Content from source pyramid environment (Pre-Prod, for example)

Step 3: Follow Step 1 to get token for the destination environment (for example: Prod Environment)

Step 4: Import Content to target Pyramid environment (Prod, for example)

Step 5: Update Data Source

Note: CurrentConnectionStringID and TargetConnectionStringID can be extracted with /API2/dataSources/getAllConnectionStrings

I will follow up with you directly to accomplish this.
