How to deploy packages using the command line

Miguel Barquet [SLC] [DevOps Enabler]1.62K 3rd February 2025 0 Comments

A customer responsible for administering ~20 DataMiner clusters is looking for an efficient way to deploy packages. These systems are not cloud-connected, and the packages that need to be installed are not available in the Catalog.

I thought we could use Taskbar Utility command line options | DataMiner Docs, but quickly encountered some showstoppers.

The Taskbar Utility does not allow connecting to a remote DMA. I was under the impression there was a field where I could enter the hostname/IP address, but I could not find it.

The Taskbar Utility command line options | DataMiner Docs don’t seem to have a command to connect to a remote DMA either.

The goal is to deploy dmprotocol and dmapp packages from a single computer to all DataMiner clusters. Ideally we can achieve that using a command line tool that can be utilized in a script as part of DevOps workflows.

Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

Hi Miguel,

As far as I know it is not possible to connect remotely to a DMA using the taskbar utility. However, you can use the Client Test Tool to connect to a remote DMA.

That being said, you could potentially deploy a .dmapp package using the option Advanced -> Apps -> AppPackages. I performed an initial test and I was able to deploy a package in a remote DMA. However, I will recommend performing additional tests. Unfortunately, AppPackages does not support .dmprotocol packages.

Another approach is to create a batch (or powershell) script that can execute remotely the CLI options of the taskbar utility.

Hope it helps.
