Description

The package discovery profile tells the AppLibrary service where to look for packages to autmatically inport to the AppLibrary, what types of packages should be included and how often the discovery should be done

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Creates a new package discovery profile that will be automatically run once per day by the AppLibrary Service

New-AppLibPackageDiscoveryProfile -Name "App-V Package Share" -DesktopGroupUid $BrokerDesktopGroup.Uid -Path "\\FileServer.company.com\AppVShare" -Recurse $true -AutomateDiscovery $true -AutoDiscoveryPeriod "Day" AutoDiscoveryCadence "1"
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Creates a new package discovery profile that will target an App-V Management and Publishing server, but will not run automatically

$SecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "password" -AsPlainText -Force
New-AppLibPackageDiscoveryProfile -Name "App-V Server" -DesktopGroupUid $BrokerDesktopGroup.Uid -ManagementServer "http://AppVServer.company.com" -PublishingServer "http://AppVServer.company.com:8001" -Username "AppVServer\Username" -Password $SecurePassword -AutomateDiscovery $false
<!--NeedCopy-->

-LoggingId

Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations.

Type: Guid
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False

CitrixCommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common Citrix parameters: -AdminAddress, -AdminClientIP, -BearerToken, -TraceParent, -TraceState and -VirtualSiteId. For more information, see about_CitrixCommonParameters.

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Inputs

None

You can’t pipe objects to this cmdlet.

Outputs

Citrix.AppLibrary.Sdk.PackageDiscoveryProfile

An object representing the configured discovery profile

Notes

The discovery root path and pair of Management and Publishing servers are mutually exclusive. I.e. a discovery session will run against either a network folder or an App-V Management and Publishing server

Setting a discovery cadence of 0 (on any period) is equivilent to setting AutomateDiscovery to False
