ALIASES¶

This cmdlet has the following aliases,

DESCRIPTION¶

Import-AppVManagementPackage retrieves packages from an App-V Management SQL database and converts them into AppVentiX publishing tasks. The function matches package URLs against the configured AppVentiX Content Shares and optionally associates packages with the appropriate Machine Groups based on Content Share location. If a Deployment Configuration XML is present in the database, it is saved as an .appd file alongside the package.

EXAMPLES¶

EXAMPLE 1¶

Import-AppVManagementPackage

Imports all enabled App-V packages from the local SQL Server ('localhost', database 'AppVManagement') and publishes them to all Machine Groups.

EXAMPLE 2¶

Import-AppVManagementPackage -SQLServer 'sql01' -SQLDatabase 'AppVManagement' -MatchPackageWithMachineGroup

Imports all enabled App-V packages from SQL Server 'sql01' and associates each package with the corresponding AppVentiX Machine Group based on its Content Share location.

EXAMPLE 3¶

Import-AppVManagementPackage -SQLServer 'sql01' -GUI -MatchPackageWithMachineGroup

Displays a selection window listing all available packages so the user can choose which ones to import, then associates them with the appropriate Machine Group.

PARAMETERS¶

-CachePackages¶

When specified, package manifest identity fields read from the Content Shares are cached in memory for the duration of the PowerShell session and reused on subsequent runs, so unchanged packages are not re-read. The cache is keyed on file path, last write time and size (a repackaged file is always re-read), is module-scoped, and is cleared when the module is reimported. Off by default.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false
  ValueFromRemainingArguments: false
DontShow: false
AcceptedValues: []
HelpMessage: ''

-ConfigShare¶

Internal parameter. Points to the AppVentiX configuration share path. Automatically populated from the module configuration and does not normally need to be specified manually.

Type: System.String
DefaultValue: $Script:AppVentiX.ConfigShare

HelpMessage: ''

-MatchPackageWithMachineGroup¶

When specified, attempts to match each package to the appropriate AppVentiX Machine Group based on its Content Share location. If no match is found, the package is published to all Machine Groups.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter
DefaultValue: False
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases: []
ParameterSets:
- Name: (All)
  Position: Named
  IsRequired: false
  ValueFromPipeline: false
  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false

HelpMessage: ''

-SQLCredential¶

A PSCredential object for SQL Server authentication. Use [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]::Empty for Windows authentication (default).

Type: System.Management.Automation.PSCredential
DefaultValue: '[System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]::Empty'
SupportsWildcards: false
Aliases: []
ParameterSets:
- Name: (All)

HelpMessage: ''

-ThrottleLimit¶

The maximum number of package manifests to read concurrently from the Content Shares when retrieving AppVentiX Content Share packages. Reading manifests over a (usually remote) share is network-latency bound and benefits from parallelism. Default: 16. Increase on high-latency shares; decrease to reduce load on the file server.

Type: System.Int32
DefaultValue: 16
