You can use the AssetLoaderCLI command line utility to load large numbers of MCS image policies and their variants from the file system or a URL to an XML repository in a single operation.
You can use the AssetLoaderCLI command line utility to load large numbers of MCS image policies and their variants from the file system or a URL to an XML repository in a single operation.
You specify a target policy folder and a source directory tree containing directories named for each policy, and sub-directories for each variant type ('device', 'convertible' or 'generic'). These subdirectories must be named with these reserved words, and contain only the number of variants allowed for the variant type; that is one variant each for device-specific and convertible images, and multiple variants for generic variants. Below this level the directory names must conform to the exact names in the device policy tree.
When MCS loads the images, it creates a series of image policies in the target policy folder, with variants of the type in the sub folders. Image metadata is also interpreted to generate the necessary attributes automatically.
You can rerun the loader at any time following a change to one or more images by using the replace parameter.
You'll find the loader script AssetLoaderCLI in the [wp_root]/repository/bin directory.
