   [-FullPathToSourceManagementPackBundle <String>]
   [-AdditionalData <Object>]
   [-DataSourceTypeName] <String>

Description

The Set-SCDWSource cmdlet updates the definition of classes and relationships that can be populated for an instance of a data source.

Examples

Example 1: Set properties for a data source

PS C:\>$cred = Get-Credential
PS C:\>Set-SCDWSource -DataSourceType "ConfigurationManager.DataSource"  -DataSourceName "MSITData" -Properties @{ Version="D0925349-F1FC-1084-0761-EE60D21B1141"; SyncType="9BFF3B4B-80D0-A263-2DAD-90A67C5FCA39"}  -AdditionalData $cred  -FullPathToSourceManagementPackBundle "C:\NewCMSourceMPS.mpb" -ComputerName "serverDW72"

The first command prompts for user credentials and stores them in a variable.

The second command updates the version and the synctype properties for a Configuration Manager data source.

Parameters

-AdditionalData

Specifies any additional data that a particular source has to send during registration. Specifically, this is used during a cmshort source registration, to provide credentials in the form of a credential object that the cmshort source uses to contact the cmshort server.

-ComputerName

Specifies the name of the computer on which the System Center Data Access service is running.

You can omit this parameter only if the System Center Data Access Service is running on the same computer that has Service Manager installed.

Type:String
Aliases:CN

Specifies the credentials to use when you are connecting to the server on which the System Center Data Access service is running. The user account that is provided must have access to that server.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None

Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FullPathToSourceManagementPackBundle

Specifies the path to the management pack bundle that contains the management packs with the definitions for the new source types. This makes it possible for you to define the type system for the new source in the same manner that type systems are defined in management packs by declaring classes.

Type:String

Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Properties

Specifies further arguments that will be used when a data source is set up. The hashtable contents vary according to the data source type.
