In the following samples, the template name is ‘psimport’.
• A basic call to the cmdlet, explicitly specifying the parameter names:
import-servicemanagerdata -name psimport -literalpath
"c:\Users\username\documents\test5.csv”
• A basic call to the cmdlet using positional call for template name:
import-servicemanagerdata psimport -literalpath
"c:\Users\username\documents\test3.csv"
• A call to the cmdlet with verbose messages turned on:
import-servicemanagerdata -verbose -name psimport -literalpath
"c:\Users\username\documents\test5.csv"
• A call to the cmdlet with user controlled error handling, where the user variable is ‘myerr’:
import-servicemanagerdata -verbose psimport -literalpath
"c:\Users\username\documents\test3.csv" -erroraction Inquire
-errorvariable +myerr
• Piping the parameters in a file to the cmdlet:
Import-csv "C:\SqlQuery.csv" | import-servicemanagerdata -name
sqlimport
-onerroraction skip
