$user = "semadmin"

$pass = "semadmin"

$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"

$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"

$Header = @{Authorization = $basicAuthValue}

$url = "http://localhost:8088/semarchy/api/rest/admin/status"

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Header $Header | ConvertTo-Json



Get repository Information

$user = "semadmin"

$pass = "semadmin"

$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"

$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"

$Header = @{Authorization = $basicAuthValue}

$url = "http://localhost:8088/semarchy/api/rest/admin/repository"

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Header $Header | ConvertTo-Json

Create a New model 


$user = "semadmin"

$pass = "semadmin"

$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"

$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"

$Header = @{Authorization = $basicAuthValue}

$url = "http://localhost:8088/semarchy/api/rest/app-builder/models"

$model = @{name= "myDemo" 

label= "my demo model"

description= "my demo model description"

branch= @{

    name= "mybranch"

    label= "my branch label"

$user = "semadmin"

$pass = "semadmin"

$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"

$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"

$Header = @{Authorization = $basicAuthValue}

$url = get-content .\URL.txt

$url = $url + "/api/rest/app-builder/models/Winoa/editions/0.0/content"
