Reference between SMLets and SCSM 2012 native cmdlets published on 5 Comments on Reference between SMLets and SCSM 2012 native cmdlets

As you all know (or will know after reading of this post )) ) the SCSM 2012 have a native cmdlets which has installed during setup process of SCSM console. Some of native SCSM2012 cmdlets use different from SMLets names of the cmdlets.

The main different between SMLets and native cmdlets that native cmdlets target to wotk with SDK object and methods. Almost all native cmdlets return SDK object along with adapted PS object. So, if you want to use native cmdlets with full strange you must learn about SCSM SDK. Second effect of this is another way to update objects. See comment in table below.

To import native cmdlets you must add to your script:

Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2012\Powershell\System.Center.Service.Manager.psd1'

Table below contains SMLets cmdlets and corresponding native cmdlet, if any:

  2. -Filter allow use only double-qoute sign for string value. –Filter “Id= ‘ID1234’” will NOT work. Use -Filter ‘Id = “ID1234”’ instead.

Date warehouse cmdlets

To use DW cmdlets you must add module:

import-module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2012\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Warehouse.Cmdlets.psd1'

List of DW cmdlets:

Disable-SCDWJob Disables a data warehouse job to prevent it from running.
Disable-SCDWJobCategory Disables all jobs within a job category.
Disable-SCDWJobSchedule The Disable-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet disables a Data Warehouse job schedule, which causes the job schedule to stop initiating jobs. If the job schedule was previously enabled, disabling the job schedule retains the job schedule settings. To modify the job schedule settings, you need to run the Set-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet.
Disable-SCDWSource Disables all jobs that are affiliated with the specified data source.
Enable-SCDWJob Enables a Data Warehouse job so that it can run according to its schedule.
Enable-SCDWJobCategory Enables all data warehouse jobs within the specified category.
Enable-SCDWJobSchedule The Enable-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet allows Data Warehouse administrators to enable job schedules so that jobs run according to their specified schedule. To disable the job schedule, use the Disable-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet.
Enable-SCDWSource Enables all jobs that are associated with the specified data source.
Get-SCDWEntity Gets the list of fact tables, dimensions, tables, and outriggers that exist in a data warehouse.
Get-SCDWJob Gets the list of all data warehouse jobs, displaying information such as the status of these jobs.
Get-SCDWJobModule Returns detailed status information about the modules of the specified job.
Get-SCDWJobSchedule The Get-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet displays scheduling information for data warehouse jobs.
Get-SCDWRetentionPeriod Gets the data retention period in minutes for either a specific fact table within a specific data warehouse database or the default for fact tables within the database.
Get-SCDWSource Gets specific instances of data sources which are registered to the data warehouse.
Get-SCDWSourceType Gets the types of data sources that can be registered to the data warehouse.
Get-SCDWWatermark Gets the latest watermark for the specified job module.
New-SCDWSourceType Creates a new type of data source that can be registered to the data warehouse. Each data source type is defined by the classes and the relationships in the management pack bundle that is imported when you define the data source type.
Register-SCDWSource Registers instances of data source types, such as Service Manager, Operations Manager, and Configuration Manager, to the data warehouse.
Set-SCDWJobSchedule Sets the schedule for a data warehouse job.
Set-SCDWRetentionPeriod Sets the data retention period in minutes for either a specific fact table within a specific data warehouse database, or sets the default for fact tables within the database. Data that is eligible for grooming and older than the retention period will be groomed out of the database.
Set-SCDWSource Updates the definition of classes and relationships that can be populated for an instance of a data source.
Set-SCDWWatermark Sets the watermark from which subsequent data processing should continue.
Start-SCDWJob Starts a data warehouse job.
Stop-SCDWJob Stops a data warehouse job.
Unregister-SCDWManagementPack Removes a management pack directly from the data warehouse.
Unregister-SCDWSource Unregisters a data source from the data warehouse.

Hi

Just be aware that for RTM:
Import-Module ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2012\Powershell\System.Center.Service.Manager.psd1’

has become

Import-Module “C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Powershell\System.Center.Service.Manager.psd1”

Cheers

Great post. Very helpful in troubleshooting Data warehouse jobs after our “upgrade in place” of SCSM 2010 to SCSM 2012.

Make sure you change the import module syntax to reflect the SCSM 2010 location of these files if you complete an “upgrade in place.” Example

Import-Module ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2012\Powershell\System.Center.Service.Manager.psd1’

…is …

Import-Module ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2010\Powershell\System.Center.Service.Manager.psd1’
