I'd Like to get the latest database from a DXP client, how can I do that?

Answer

Use the PaaS Portal.

The PaaS Portal now has a way to get all databases for all environments. Please use that instead.

This answer is dead. See PaaS Portal

Power shell

Episerver documenation

If this is your first time running, you need to install EpiCloud as an Admin

Install-Module -Name EpiCloud

Connect to Client

Connect-EpiCloud -ClientKey <ClientKey> -ClientSecret <ClientSecret> -ProjectId <ProjectId>

Connect to the EpiCloud first. Client keys will be in the Episerver DXC Clients 1Pass vault.

If you need to generate a new key, Login to Epi's Paasportal, and navigate to API for the appropriate client. The project Id GUID will be listed, and you can generate a new set of keys.

Trigger Database Export

Start-EpiDatabaseExport -Environment Production -DatabaseName epicms -Wait

Note: DatabaseName will always be epicms, but environment can be Production, Integration, Stage

Download file

Once the export completes you will be returned a URL to download the database from. Simply copy that URL into your browser and enjoy.

• This write-up is legit better than the Episerver documentation.
