Set-RDMDataSource - Cannot bind parameter

Published 11 years ago

Hello!

If I try to set the active datasource by entering

Set-RDMDatasource "{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}" or
$list = Get-RDMDataSource; Set-RDMDataSource $list[1].ID

I always receive this error:

Set-RDMDataSource : Cannot bind parameter 'DataSource'. Cannot convert the "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
value of type "System.Guid" to type "Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Business.DataSources.BaseConnectionDataSource".
At line:1 char:46
+ $list = Get-RDMDataSource; Set-RDMDataSource $list[1].ID
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-RDMDataSource], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Business.PS.Commands.Set
RDMDatasourceCommand

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,

If you want to set the active datasource you need to use Set-RDMCurrentDataSource

Set-RDMCurrentDatasource {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}or
$list = Get-RDMDataSource; Set-RDMCurrentDataSource $list[1].ID

If you are used to the deprecated cmdLets. Set-RDMCurrentDataSource is equivalent to Set-RDM-DataSource

In the new cmdLet, Set-RDMDatasource is used to set/save a data source that you changed properties with Set-RDMDataSourceProperty or created with New-RDMDataSource. It works the same way that when you create a new session with Powershell but with datasource.

We will update the help to make it clearer.

Best regards,
