Hi all,
I have an issue with using a csv as input for a script to add multiple workergroups to a xenapp published app. I have created a csv with a custom delimiter ";" because the paramater value needed to add multiple workergroups need to be seperated by a comma.
In my csv the exported data looks like this after running this command.
Get-XAApplicationReport * |where {($_.ApplicationType -ne"Content") -and($_.ApplicationType -ne"ServerDesktop") -and($_.Enabled -eq"True")} |selectBrowserName,@{n="WorkerGroups";e={[string]::join(",",$_.WorkerGroupNames)}},Folderpath | export-csv c:\workergroup.csv-Delimiter";"-NoTypeInformation CSV content:
"Test_APP_NAME";"CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6,CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6-Silo";"Applications/TEST"
When running the following script
$vars=Import-Csvc:\workergroups.csv-Delimiter";"-Header "BrowserName","WorkerGroups","FolderPath"
Foreach ($line in $Vars)
{
Set-XAApplication-BrowserName$line.BrowserName -WorkerGroupNames $line.WorkerGroups -Enabled$True
}
It wil interpret the "CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6,CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6-Silo" (without quotes) as a single name instead of 2 names seperated by the comma. Resulting in an error because that combined name ofcourse does not exsist. Running the command manually wil work fine.
If i run trace-command "Trace-Commandparameterbinding-Expression"
Trace-Command parameterbinding -Expression {Set-XAApplication -BrowserName $line.BrowserName -WorkerGroupNames $line.WorkerGroups -Enabled $True} -PSHostwith the script i see the following :
DEBUG: ParameterBinding Information: 0 : Parameter and arg types the same, no coercion is needed.
DEBUG: ParameterBinding Information: 0 : Adding scalar element of type String to array position 0
DEBUG: ParameterBinding Information: 0 : Executing VALIDATION metadata: [System.Management.Automation.ValidateNotNullOrEmptyAttribute]

Which results in:
Set-XAApplication : Cannot find worker group with name CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6,CTX-WG-NewBuild-10.6-Silo (0x80000001 Failure.)

When running the same trace-command but with the parameters filled in manually all works fine and i see this:

The difference i see is that the later one is converted from a System.Object[] to System.String[] and the line that is used from the CSV is converted from a System.String to System.String[].
Can anyone give me a hint to whats going wrong and what i might be able to do to fix it?
