Create CSV For Extension Data Store Upload

The script Azure DevOps Extension data store/upload-from-csv.ps1 expects a CSV with these columns:

• PublisherName
• ExtensionName
• DocumentIdText
• ScopeValueIdText
• DocumentValue
• CollectionName

Important: the first line in the CSV must contain these column names (header row).

One way to generate the CSV is to run this query in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) against your Azure DevOps collection database, for example AzureDevOps_DefaultCollection, and export the result set as CSV.

USE AzureDevOps_DefaultCollection;
SELECT
[PublisherName],
[ExtensionName],
CONVERT(varchar(100), doc.DocumentId) AS DocumentIdText,
CONVERT(varchar(100), col.ScopeValue) AS ScopeValueIdText,
doc.DocumentValue,
col.CollectionNameFROM [Extension].[tbl_ExtensionDataCollection] col
INNER JOIN [Extension].[tbl_ExtensionDataDocument] doc
ONcol.CollectionId=doc.CollectionId;

Example CSV

PublisherName,ExtensionName,DocumentIdText,ScopeValueIdText,DocumentValue,CollectionNamemyPublisher,myExtension,BuildPreferences,Current,"{""enabled"":true,""maxItems"":25}",$settings

Example Script Calls

Dry-run (no upload), with debug output:

.\upload-from-csv.ps1 \
-PersonalAccessToken "<PAT>" \
-Organization "my-org" \
-CsvFilePath ".\extension-data.csv" \
-WhatIf \
-EnableDebugInfo

Real upload and show DocumentValue output:

.\upload-from-csv.ps1 \
-PersonalAccessToken "<PAT>" \
-Organization "my-org" \
-CsvFilePath ".\extension-data.csv" \
-ScopeType "Default" \
-ShowDocumentValue
