  Hi,

  Thanks for your post.

  Try again with the following options:-

  Script to be loaded is:-

  Ø  PublishingService.ps1

   

  Command to create Collection is:-

  Ø  Create-ZentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType <ModelName> <ResourceTypeName>

   Please refer page number 8 in the Getting started guide.

   

  -Regards

  Hi. Having a similar issue installing sample data but when I try to run the suggested "Create-ZentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType" command in Powershell its not found see below:

  PS C:\Program Files (x86)\zentity\PowerShell scripts> create-zentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType Zentity.ScholarlyWorks Journal

   

  The term 'create-zentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

  At line:1 char:46

  + create-zentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType <<<<  Zentity.ScholarlyWorks Journal

      + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (create-zentityP...romResourceType:String) [], ParentContainsErrorRecord

     Exception

      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

  I have a number of commands loaded:

  Add-ZentityServiceToConfig

  Check-ZentityServiceExists

  Get-ZentityModelConfiguration

  Get-ZentityResourceTypeConfiguration

  Get-ZentityServiceUriForService

  Set-ZentityAdminConfigurationServiceUri

  Set-ZentityDataModelServiceUri

  Set-ZentityInstallPath

  Set-ZentityModelConfiguration

  Set-ZentityPublishingConfigurationServiceUri

  Set-ZentityPublishingServiceUri

  Set-ZentityResourceTypeConfiguration

  Set-ZentityResourceTypeServiceUri

  Update-ZentityDataModels

  So any help would be appreciated, happy to start a new thread if required.

  Thanks Ian

  Hi Ian,

  You need to run PublishingService.ps1 script. It will load the above command.

  Hi Kalnemi.

  Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm getting the 2nd error that Erene is getting with the "Resource type does not contain any resources in the DataBase. : Zentity.ScholarlyWorks.Journal"

  This is when I run the "create-zentityPivotCollectionFromResourceType Zentity.ScholarlyWorks Journal".

  I managed to resolve my first issue with Powershell permissions, not now get an error when I run the command. The error is the same in the logs as Erene.

  Thanks in advance.

  Ian.

  Hi Ian,

  The database does not contain resources by default. You need to use Zentity WebUI to add resource.

  Hi,

  really thanks for the help received so far. Can I have a alternative of moving on and using the president example instead and it will work? Or do i strictly have to use the Zentity WebUI? If so may i have some general directions regarding it?

  Really thanks once again for the help

  Thanks have managed to install the Presidents example.

  I not sure if I misunderstood or haven't had the time to explore the solution, but I was hoping that there was more as part of the installation. I understand that Zentity is a framework to build on, but have struggled to install some of the examples and follow the guides in places.

  I don't have deciated time on this, so probably the reason I'm missing sections and getting issues. I thought I could follow the installation guide and then the getting started and it would be okay, but seems a more more involved than expected.

  I sure I'll have some more questions later.

  Thanks Ian
