Import-FIMConfig

Module:: FIMAutomation

Imports changes into the target FIM Service by using Web service calls.

Syntax

Import-FIMConfig
      [-Uri <String>]
      [-Credential <PSCredential>]
      [-Timeout <Int32>]
      [-ImportObject <ImportObject>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Import-FIMConfig cmdlet takes in a list of ImportObject instances. Each ImportObject represents one atomic Web service call to make. Each Web service call can contain multiple attribute-level changes. As the cmdlet creates resources, the cmdlet resolves references automatically in subsequent update and create operations.

All ImportObject instances sent to Import-FIMConfig are run. You can construct ImportObject instances from custom Windows PowerShell™ scripts or Microsoft .NET code and provide them to Import-FIMConfig for processing.

For more information about ImportObject instances and about themmseeWindows PowerShell cmdlet set, see about_FIM.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

$UndoneImports = $imports |  Import-FIMConfig  -uri http://localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService $undoneImports |  ConvertFrom-FIMResource  -file undone.xml

This is a simple example of importing.

Note that this example stores the return value to inspect that all changes were made successfully.

This is an example of an ImportObject that creates a ManagementPolicyRule resource with the references to Set resources that have not been created yet.

Note that you would include the ImportObjects inside a file and load them by using ConvertTo-FIMResource . This is an example on how to script batch operations inmmsshort.
