Using the Snapshot Utility - Unattended Mode

Grab the command lines for your first snapshot 

create-metadata --beginDate 2017-01-01 --code snap1 --date 2017-01-01 --description "My first snapshot" --endDate 2017-01-31 --name "Snapshot 1" --connection "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=EdFi_Ods_Sandbox_populatedSandbox;Integrated Security=True"


load-data --code snap1 --connection "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=EdFi_Ods_Sandbox_populatedSandbox;Integrated Security=True"

Edit them to create unattended commands

C:\src\TODS\Ed-Fi-ODS\Utilities\TemporalOds\EdFi.Ods.Tods.ConsoleApp\bin\Debug\EdFi.Ods.Tods.ConsoleApp.exe create-metadata --beginDate 2017-02-01 --code snap2 --date 2017-02-01 --description "My second snapshot" --endDate 2017-02-28 --name "Snapshot 2" --connection "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=EdFi_Ods_Sandbox_populatedSandbox;Integrated Security=True"
C:\src\TODS\Ed-Fi-ODS\Utilities\TemporalOds\EdFi.Ods.Tods.ConsoleApp\bin\Debug\EdFi.Ods.Tods.ConsoleApp.exe load-data --code snap2 --connection "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=EdFi_Ods_Sandbox_populatedSandbox;Integrated Security=True"

Save as a command file and run it

create_snap2.zip
