Core Service 2011 - Address books

Question

Is it possible to create Audience Manager Address Books using the Core Service (Tridion 2011 SP1)?

(Or automate creating them in any other way - db script, Interop?)

Cheers

Answer 1

There is no Audience Manager functionality in the Core Service; only Content Manager functionality is exposed there.

You can, however, use the public API (Tridion.AudienceManagement.API) on the server to create any item you want. You didn't specify the kind of Address Book you want to create - but I'm going to assume you want a static one to create Contacts in.

Here is some sample code to do that:

StaticAddressBook denmark = new StaticAddressBook();
denmark.Title = "Denmark";
denmark.Key = "DK";
denmark.Save();

If you want to create a Dynamic Address Book instead, you'll need to specify a filter too; let me know if that's the case and I can provide some sample code for that too.
