Powershell and the "WHY NOT"?

the code tag is

lemme try this to show the actual code ;)

fail: try again
[ code ] [ / code ]

but no spaces inside the brackets ;)

Why don't your cmdlet support objects in the pipeline?
why do i need this:
$objDatasource = (Get-RDMDatasource -Name $DataSourceName).ID | Set-RDMCurrentDataSource

But cannot use this:
$objDatasource = Get-RDMDatasource -Name $DataSourceName | Set-RDMCurrentDataSource



How can i set the Sessions Status (Expired,...)?

Hi Peter,

Set-RDMCurrentDataSource only supports guid, we will modify it to be able to accept a PSDataSource object or a guid.

To set and get the session status, you need to use the session status property and know these IDs:

Default = {B299F468-BC24-43cb-9417-4FEDFC813E7C}
Disabled = {380B6ED9-94F9-4e1e-B4F6-72714B9D44CD}
Expired = {7B926104-9C7E-4c91-BDAC-DFCCC36B8D70}
Locked = {DE4018E0-38E4-416b-AB4E-DEA6B754C711}
Warning = {123A44CB-7EDC-4ecb-926B-031793668148}


We will create cmdlets to make it easier to manage session status.

Remove-RDMSession opens an Error Message (blocking script) on permission issue, see screenshot

Remove-RDMSession -ID $RDMSessionNow.id -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Hello,

What type of data source are you connected to?

Could you please check if you have enough permission on the SQL database to perform a delete on an entry?

Best regards,

I KNOW i don't have the permission (on the SQL Server Always on Datasource)!!
The problem is the reaction of the cmdlet:
Displaying a huge Messagebox is not scriptable!

How can i set the Department and other fields visible in the GUI with Get-RDMUser + Set-RDMUser ?

Hi Peter,

The fields visible in the information tab like the department are in $userObject.UserInfo.UserProfile.

For example:
$rdmuSERS[16].UserInfo.UserProfile.Department = "YourDepartment"
Set-RDMUser $rdmuSERS[16]
Bset regards,

Hi,

When you start PowerShell with the UI. RDM sends a script to PowerShell that set the execution policy to avoid errors, imports the module, the current data source and load the connections.

Does it take around 17 seconds on all your data sources?

Also we will add a way to modify the script before the import module. This way you will be able to remove the set execution policy part.

Best regards,

It does NOT take 17 seconds if i load the module and datsource in an extra Powershell SessionHi,

What about:
Remove-RDMSession opens an Error Message (blocking script) on permission issue, see screenshot

Can you somehow manage that PS-commands don't trigger Messageboxes from the Application?

Hi Peter,

The message box containing only an ok button will not prompt anymore. The content will go in the PowerShell console and won't block the script.

In the cases you have to make a choice, for example a "yes or no question", the question will be in the console like a read-host.

Best regards,
