Now, run aamporter with the plist path as an argument to fetch all the latest updates for these channels: This is either a string or array corresponding to the item(s) in Munki you would make these an update_for (in other words, the base product(s) you are putting in a Munki manifest). If you plan to have updates imported into Munki, you should also set the munki_update_for key within the plist. Typically only several of these will ever actually have updates available. Each channel may have multiple different updates available to it, and every product that can be purchased from Adobe, whether a suite or a single product, is comprised of many Channel IDs. See the product-plist-examples folder for a few example plists and the section below on generating product plists. For a list of Channel IDs and product names, see the tech note on Channel IDs for Creative Suite and Creative Cloud for a list of updates that you're likely to be most interested in. Usageīuild a 'product plist' with a list of channels you would like to check for updates. Later, the tool can be re-run to pull in new updates as they are released and you can begin testing. It also automates the process of importing these into a Munki repo.

The download functionality attempts to replicate the same logic used by the AAM system and the Creative Cloud Packager tools. The 'aam' in the name refers to Adobe Application Manager, the user-facing name for Adobe's installer and licensing subsystem for Creative Cloud/Suite products. OverviewĪamporter is a tool for automating the downloading of updates to Adobe Creative Cloud and Creative Suite applications, and optionally importing them into a Munki repo. In February 2017 (this latest doc update), there are very few applications whose most recent version still uses this original format (Adobe Lightroom, for example). aamporter is therefore only useful for doing updates for Adobe CS5-CS6 and CC versions up until the original 2015 releases. These applications and their updates are not compatible with the updates feed or mechanisms that aamporter understands. Adobe's mid-June 2016 product updates described here, and all new releases for CC 2017, use a new installer technology (known internally as "HyperDrive").
