.bat file for stsadm command actions

Hi All,
  Most of the time during client deployment , there might be requirement of Re-Activating client related feature to provide the newly built functionality . usually we used to run the stsadm command as

stsadm -o activatefeature -name "CLIENT_FEATURE_NAME" -url "SITE_URL" -force

Apart from this client related feature, there we need to reactivate some more product related feature which include functionalities such as timerjob, adding content type to the list or adding new columns to the list,etc..In this case we need to enter the stsadm command again and again which makes you damn bore!!!.

Here is a solution to over come your "boring" feeling and enjoy the deployment process


  1. Open a notepad
  2. Paste the following code. I will explain everything below this snippet.
@SET pathToStsadm="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN"
@echo off
cd %pathToStsadm%
echo ------------------------Enter the following Inputs------------------------
SET /p url= Enter site url    
SET /p ClientRealtedFeature= Enter the name of client feature to be activated  
echo ----------------------ACTIVATING FEATURES----------------------
echo Activating FirstFeature ...
stsadm -o activatefeature -name FirstFeature -url %url% -force
echo Activating SecondFeature
stsadm -o activatefeature -name SecondFeature-url %url% -force
echo Activate ClientRealtedFeature
stsadm -o activatefeature -name %ClientRealtedFeature% -url %url% -force
echo ------------------------COMPLETED------------------------
PAUSE


In the above snippet:

pathToStsadm: set the path to the bin folder present in 14 folder, since the stsadm command.exe is present under this bin folder.

url: url of the site . Here note that when the prompt asks for entering site url , you need to provide the site url within the quotation .  viz. "http://siteUrl".

ClientRealtedFeature: provide the client feature name when it asks for entering the client feature name.

Hope this will help some one

Cheers

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
