[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Upgrade-SPSite cmdlet starts the upgrade process on a site collection.
The Upgrade-SPSite cmdlet activates the upgrade process for the specified SPSite object.
You can also use this cmdlet to resume failed upgrades.
When you use this cmdlet to initiate upgrade on an SPSite object, the object can be either a build-to-build or version-to-version upgrade.
By default, the Upgrade-SPSite cmdlet operates as a build-to-build upgrade.
This prevents unexpected version upgrades of site collections if you use this cmdlet after a patching operation.
When in version-to-version upgrade mode, site collection health checks are run in repair mode to ensure that the site collection is healthy enough to upgrade successfully.
If successful, the remainder of the upgrade occurs.
For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.
Examples
-------------EXAMPLE 1----------
Upgrade-SPSite https://<site name>/sites/testsiteThis example upgrades the existing https://<site name>/sites/testsite site collection by using only available build-to-build upgrade actions that are associated with the current site collection operating mode. The SPSite.CompatibilityLevel will not be changed by this operation.
-------------EXAMPLE 2----------
Upgrade-SPSite https://<site name>/sites/testsite -VersionUpgradeThis example upgrades the existing https://<site name>/sites/testsite site collection by using all available build-to-build upgrade actions that are associated with the current site collection operating mode and performs a version-to-version upgrade.
Parameters
-AssignmentCollection
Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store.
If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
