Looking for below two IMPORTANT things on the PRPCService utils. Please reply ASAP.
Mahesh and Team,
Looking for below two IMPORTANT things on the PRPCService utils. Please reply ASAP.
1) PRPCService Util versions you provided are of ANT version. Could you please provide the prpcservice util with MAVEN version of build tool. As current technology is moved with MAVEN. it could be easy.
2)PRPCSERVICE Utils import and export integration with NEXUS. Want to publish zip/jar file to nexus and pull from nexus artifact repository. As of now we are putting into the Jenkins local folder. But in general as per Industry standards we always have requirement to put into artifact repository like NEXUS.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Siva,
1) PRPCService Util versions you provided are of ANT version. Could you please provide the prpcservice util with MAVEN version of build tool. As current technology is moved with MAVEN. it could be easy. -> As per the latest documentation its talks about only the ANT build tool and no where it has been specified about Maven tool usage with prpcServiceUtils. So i don't think you can use Maven to perform these tasks using prpcServiceUtils with Jenkins.
2)PRPCSERVICE Utils import and export integration with NEXUS. Want to publish zip/jar file to nexus and pull from nexus artifact repository. As of now we are putting into the Jenkins local folder. But in general as per Industry standards we always have requirement to put into artifact repository like NEXUS. -> Personally never tried to store the content into the NEXUS repository, so couldn't help you on this request as it cannot be tried in house.
I hope some SME in this area might look into this requirement.

You can absolutely call ANT scripts from Maven, the first result in Google is the following : https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-ant.html
The existing ANT scripts for prpcServiceUtils invoked following the instructions above.
Also starting in 7.4, you can create custom repositories which includes adding support for Nexus following in instructions here : https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/custom-repository-types
If you aren’t on older releases you could still use Nexus but you will just have to transfer in and out of Nexus through a separate transaction after invoking prpcServiceUtils which could be done in a script or using an automation tool like Jenkins where first you would invoke prpcServiceUtils to extract the archive and then the second command would push that archive into Nexus using Nexus’s API.

Linoy,
We are using Pega 7.2.2 and PRPCServiceUtils of same version.
I know you have replied saying we can integrate ANT with Maven. But looks like that path is not easy. Our goal to go with complete MAVEN so that we can easily integrate with NEXUS and put the ZIP file artifact in the nexus path. instead of jenkins path.
1)Straight question is: Is there any PRPCServiceUtils version of 7.2.x which has MAVEN build integrated by PEGA?
2) Could you please provide the independent REST URLs for EXPORT and IMPORT activity for 7.2.x. where we can call them directly from the jenkins. and also we can hit the urls and test from POSTMAN or Advanced rest clients from outside pega.
3) Could you please provide the independent REST URLs for BACKUP and RESTORE activity for 7.2.x. where we can call them directly from the jenkins. and also we can hit the urls and test from POSTMAN or Advanced rest clients from outside pega.
We are planning to use Jenkins as our CI/CD tool to call these rest services separately and store the artifact in NEXUS. Meaning totally we want to exclude the PRPCServiceUtils and take the route. could you please help us in providing the REST urls. or any other working direction.
