hlx admin

[kptdobe]

As part of the import process, there is the need to bulk preview / publish a lot of pages. Ideally we could do:

hlx admin --preview urls.xlsx // preview all urls from the URL column of the spreadsheet
hlx admin --preview --publish urls.xlsx // preview and publish all urls from the URL column of the spreadsheet
hlx admin --index 450 --preview --publish urls.xlsx // preview and publish all urls from the URL column of the spreadsheet starting at row 451 (row 1 = heading)

The cli would then deal with the concurrency (run 8 in parallel ?).

Hello, as a follow-up to a Slack thread about issues with https://thinktanked.org/tools/bulk/bulk.html (where too many API requests were done in parallel, causing 503s) I started working on some scripting for bulk preview/live operations and I ended up doing a node.js CLI: franklin-bulk.

Here is a demo:

franklin-bulk-cli-demo.mp4

Would there be an interest to get this feature contributed as new commands of the helix-cli?

Remark:

• Concurrency is implemented using Node.js native threads

Concurrency is implemented using Node.js native threads

wow...looks complicated for something that is anyways async ;-)
you could use https://github.com/adobe/helix-shared/tree/main/packages/helix-shared-process-queue, which is a bit simpler to use ;-)

What is the meaning of all this I don't really get it

in the meantime we have the admin bulk api:
https://www.aem.live/docs/admin.html#tag/preview/operation/bulkPreview

@catalan-adobe I suggest you improve your tool to use that api. it drastically reduces the load on sharepoint
