Migrate Application Gateway V1 to V2 through script - receiving error

JohnC92 0

Hello,

We are still running Azure Application Gateways on V1. As V1 will be retired soon, we would like to upgrade them to V2 through the migration script that Microsoft provided here.

Through my local PowerShell I firstly ran the command "Connect-AzAccount" and logged in with my Azure account.
Then I imported the Azure modules by running "Import-Module Az".

Then, I executed the command "Set-AzContext -Subscription '<V1 application gateway SubscriptionId>'" where I entered my V1 application gateway Subscription ID.

The next step in the tutorial states "Run Get-Help AzureAppGWMigration.ps1 to examine the required parameters".
However, when I run this command, I receive the following error:

Get-Help : Get-Help could not find AzureAppGWMigration.ps1 in a help file in this session. To download updated help

topics type: "Update-Help". To get help online, search for the help topic in the TechNet library at

https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=107116.

At line:1 char:1

+ Get-Help AzureAppGWMigration.ps1

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [Get-Help], HelpNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HelpNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHelpCommand

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I already tried the "Update-Help", but after that I receive the same error again.

Thank you in advance.

@JohnC92 ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you are facing an error message while trying to run the migration script.

Looking at the error message,

Get-Help : Get-Help could not find AzureAppGWMigration.ps1 in a help file in this session. To download updated help

Can you please confirm if you were running the command in the same directory as the "AzureAppGWMigration.ps1" resides?

Can you confirm if you are using the version 1.0.11?

Cheers,

Kapil

Hello JohnC92,

Seems that you don't have the AppGwMigration module installed. You can pick it up/install it from https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AzureAppGWMigration/1.0.11. After that, import it into your session, and then it should work.

Cheers,
Tom

@KapilAnanth-MSFT

Yes, I was running it from the same directory where the AzureAppGWMigration.ps1 resides.

I am using version 1.0.11 indeed.

@Tomica Kaniski how do I do that? I am using the "Install using the script directly" step in the tutorial.
Because I already have an Azure Az module installed, I downloaded the script manually and extracted it into a folder on my computer.

JohnC92 ah, I see - so, if you have the file downloaded and extracted in a known folder, do "Import-Module AzureAppGWMigration.ps1" first (from inside this folder), and then you should also be able to run "Get-Help AzureAppGWMigration.ps1" afterwards.

Cheers,
Tom

@Tomica Kaniski thank you. I ran the command Import-Module .\AzureAppGWMigrationp.s1, but I receive the following error(s):

JohnC92 yes... it seems to be auto-deleted. After running the Import-Module, "Get-Help AzureAppGWMigration.ps1" works? Are you being shown the help of the script?

@JohnC92 ,

Is there any developments on this?

Please note "Get-Help AzureAppGWMigration.ps1" is not a mandatory command for the migration.

It is just to help the users with the parameters required, which is given here.

You can skip this step and proceed further with the migration.

This looks like a Powershell/Windows related bug rather than an issue with the migration script.

I'd suggest you to proceed with the next steps and let us know if there's an issue.

Cheers,

Kapil
