Portal application sync using Portal APIs

Question

Hi All,
I am trying automate the EBCC sync process using Portal APIs. I think it's very
common since it avoids the manual sync process & helpful in creating batch process
using Ant. Is anybody did this before??, please let me know if you have any suggestions
etc.
Many thanks
Zulfi

should not url be
http://localhost:7501/portalAppDataSync/DataSyncServlet ?
also what does the server side log show? are you able to connect to your
datasync
servlet
i am not sure whether this is a weblogic error caused due to some other
reason
i have only done this with 4.0 not 7.0 so im not sure if this works
bye

Thanks Deepak, i tried on this in Portal server 7.0 by writing the
Ant
script which
is attached here. It gave some errors related to XMLMarshalling. The
Ant script
is,
     <property name="basedir1" value="C:/bea/user_projects/sourceDomain/beaApps"/>
     <property name="deploy.system.username" value="system"/>
     <property name="deploy.system.password" value="password"/>

     <property name="url" value="http://localhost:7501/portalAppDataSync"/>
     <property name="basedir" value="C:/bea/user_projects/sourceDomain/beaApps"/>
     <property name="ebcc.lib.dir" value="C:/bea/weblogic700/ebcc/lib"/>
     <property name="weblogic.lib.dir" value="C:/bea/weblogic700/server/lib"/>

               <arg value="-url"/> <arg value="${url}"/>
               <classpath>
                    <pathelement location="${weblogic.lib.dir}/weblogic.jar"/>
                    <pathelement location="${ebcc.lib.dir}/ext/jdom.jar"/>
                    <pathelement location="${ebcc.lib.dir}/ext/HTTPClient.jar"/>
                    <pathelement location="${ebcc.lib.dir}/ext/p13n_system.jar"/>
                    <pathelement location="${ebcc.lib.dir}/ext/p13n_util.jar"/>
               </classpath>
          </java>
     </target>
You can also see the detailed information on the attached doc. Please
let me know
if anybody has any clue.
Thanks

For portal 4.0 i think
<java fork="true" classname="com.bea.p13n.management.data.DirectoryDataSync">
<arg value="-root"/>
<arg value="${basedir}/ebcc/portal-project/application-sync"/>
<arg value="-user"/>
<arg value="system"/>
<arg value="-password"/>
<arg value="${deploy.system.password}"/>
<arg value="-mode"/>
<arg value="${deploy.syncmode}"/>
<arg value="-url"/>
<arg value="http://${deploy.bindaddress}:${deploy.port}/portalDataSync/DataSyncServlet"/>
<sysproperty key="bea.home" value="${deploy.bea.home}"/>
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${deploy.wls6.home}/lib/weblogic.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${deploy.wlp4.home}/lib/ext/jdom.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${deploy.wlp4.home}/lib/ext/HTTPClient.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${deploy.wlp4.home}/lib/p13n_system.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${deploy.wlp4.home}/lib/p13n/ejb/p13n_util.jar"/>
</classpath>
</java>
inside an ant target should be what you would want to do
