Examples

---------- EXAMPLE 1 ----------

$buildArtifactPath = "C:\Work\buildArtifacts\MyDatabase.1.0.0.nupkg"
$buildArtifact = $buildArtifactPath | Import-DatabaseBuildArtifact
$buildArtifact | Publish-DatabaseBuildArtifact -NuGetFeedUrl http://localhost:4000/nuget/packages -NuGetApiKey ed6d7c98-9847-4599-b5a8-323f215b5c89

This example shows how to use the Import-DatabaseBuildArtifact cmdlet to create a IBuildArtifact object from a build artifact exported as NuGet package. The Publish-DatabaseBuildArtifact cmdlet then publishes the output object to a NuGet feed.

---------- EXAMPLE 2 ----------

$buildArtifactPath = "C:\Work\buildArtifacts\MyDatabase.zip"
$buildArtifact = $buildArtifactPath | Import-DatabaseBuildArtifact

This example shows how to use the Import-DatabaseBuildArtifact cmdlet to create a IBuildArtifact object from a build artifact exported as a .zip file.
