I cannot seem to get this to work. I am targeting a group using the in XML, but it keeps failing. I have a feeling my XML is ok but my PowerShell is the issue. Any help is appreciated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BES xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BES.xsd">
<SourcedFixletAction>

<Sitename />
<FixletID />
<Action>Action1</Action>
</SourceFixlet>
<Target>

</Target>

<PostActionBehavior Behavior="Nothing">

</PostActionBehavior>
</Settings>
<Title />
</SourcedFixletAction>
</BES>
And my powershell function looks like this:
Function ScheduleActionFromFixlet {
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
HelpMessage="Expecting input of the form: https://<bigfix_server>:52311")]
[string]$APIBaseUrl,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
HelpMessage="Path to directory containing XML templates files")]
[string]$TemplateDirectory,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
HelpMessage="The desired display name of the new action to be created")]
[string]$ActionTitle,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$SiteName,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$FixletID,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][int[]]$TargetComputerID,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][System.DateTimeOffset]$StartDateTime,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][System.DateTimeOffset]$EndDateTime,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$HasEndTime,
[bool]$ActionRestartComputer=$false,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSession]$WebSession
)
$xmlTemplate = $($TemplateDirectory + $TemplateFile)
if (!(Test-Path -Path $xmlTemplate)) {
return @("TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND",$null)
}
# Get XML template and update it with input parameter data
$actionXML = [xml](Get-Content -Path $xmlTemplate)
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.SourceFixlet.Sitename = $SiteName
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.SourceFixlet.FixletID = [string]$FixletID
# PowerShell treats null-valued elements as String instead of XmlElement, so need to cast
[System.Xml.XmlElement]$xmlTarget = $actionXML.SelectSingleNode('./BES/SourcedFixletAction/Target')
foreach ($computerID in $TargetComputerID) {
$computerIDElement = $actionXML.CreateElement("ComputerID")
$computerIDText = $actionXML.CreateTextNode([string]$computerID)
$customRelevanceElement = $actionXML.CreateElement("CustomRelevance")
$customRelevanceText = $actionXML.CreateTextNode([string]$customRelevance)
[void]($computerIDElement.AppendChild($ComputerIDText))
[void]($xmlTarget.AppendChild($computerIDElement))
[void]($customRelevanceElement.AppendChild($customRelevanceText))
[void]($xmlTarget.AppendChild($customRelevanceElement))
}
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.Settings.StartDateTimeLocal = $StartDateTime.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.Settings.HasEndTime = $HasEndTime
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.Settings.EndDateTimeLocal = $EndDateTime.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
if ($ActionRestartComputer) {
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.Settings.PostActionBehavior.Behavior = 'Restart'
}
$actionXML.BES.SourcedFixletAction.Title = $ActionTitle
$uri = $($APIBaseUrl + "/api/actions")
$body = $actionXML.OuterXml
Try {
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -SkipCertificateCheck -Uri $uri -Method Post -ContentType "application/xml" -Body $body -WebSession $WebSession -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null
} Catch {
return @("REQUEST_FAILED",$null)
}
$returnVal = New-Object -TypeName System.Collections.ArrayList
foreach ($action in ([xml]($response.Content)).BESAPI.Action) {
[void]($returnVal.Add(
[pscustomobject]@{
ID = $action.ID;
Name = $action.Name
}
))
}
return @($null,$returnVal)
}
I call it with this:
ScheduleActionFromFixlet -APIBaseUrl $APIBaseUrl -TemplateDirectory $TemplateDirectory -ActionTitle $ActionTitle -SiteName $SiteName -FixletID $FixletID -TargetComputerID $TargetComputerID -StartDateTime $StartDateTime -HasEndTime $HasEndTime -EndDateTime $EndDateTime -WebSession $Session[1]
