Description

The `Get-HypInventoryItem` cmdlet gets the resource items and child items from specified inventory locations using the resource type and a set of filtering and pagination parameters.

`Get-HypInventoryItem` requires a Hosting Unit path and the ResourceType parameter. The ResourceType specifies the resource extension, such as `template`, `vm`, etc.

Optional parameters control how many items to return, where to start the list of items and how to filter items so that only a subset are returned.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Parameters

-ResourceType

This parameter specifies the type of the resources to return. This is a required parameter and corresponds to the resource Name extension, such as `template`, `vm`, ‘launchtemplateversion’ (only supported in AWS), or ‘snapshot’ (supported in VMware, Azure). For Azure and AWS, this parameter supports multiple inputs.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-LiteralPath

This specifies the XDHyp:\ path to the Hosting Unit for the inventory to use. This parameter is required.

Type:	String
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-ContinuationToken

This parameter controls where to start including items from the inventory. This is usually the `Id` of an item and the included items begin after the given item is found.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-MaxRecords

The maximum number of items to return for the given call of the cmdlet. The default is to return one item.

Type:	Int32
Position:	Named
Default value:	1
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Skip

Skips the specified number of records before returning results. Also reduces the count returned by -ReturnTotalRecordCount.

Type:	Int32
Position:	Named
Default value:	0
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ContainsName

This parameter filters items so that only the ones containing the given string in the `Name` are included.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-ForwardDirection

Specifies whether the items are returned in forward page order (the default) or reverse.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	True
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Tags

This parameter specifies a JSON dictionary where the keys are the tag names and the values are the tag values. The parameter is used to filter items which have the given tags. An item must have all the given tags to match. Special values of `Not tagged` and `All values` are supported. For VMware, refer for additional usage details.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-Id

This parameter returns a single item with the given Identifier.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-AdditionalDataFilter

This specifies a JSON dictionary of parameters to use in filtering resources using the AdditionalData properties. All values given must match for an item to be included.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-Template

This parameter is used for the Machine Profile ResourceTypes only. It specifies a Template identifier or name to use in validation of the Machine Profile with the given Template. The validation will pass if the given Machine Profile resource is compatible with the given Template. Only Machine Profiles which pass this validation are included.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	True

-Warn

This parameter is used for along with any validation filtering parameter (such as TemplateId). It specifies that rather than excluding the items which failed validation, the item is included but with a Warning property added to the AdditionalData. This property carries a string which describes the reason for validation failure.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Force

Specifies whether to return the full list of items or whether to exclude the items created as part of Machine Creation Services. The default behavior is to exclude the MCS created items.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters:	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

PSObject

A list of inventory items which are found in the given Hosting Unit inventory of the given ResourceType and matching any optional filtering parameters. As a convenience the first item of the list contains AdditionalData fields for `TotalItemsCount`, `TotalFilteredItemsCount` and `Tags`. These fields provide the counts of all the items of the ResourceType in the inventory, the set of items which would match the filters and a set of tags which may be used to filter the items, respectively.

Notes

For filtering in VMware, Tag’s name is treated as the key and its category name as the value. Apart from Tags, VMware also has Custom Attributes which are key-value pair based metadata for the resources. Both of them can be applied to filtering using `-Tags` parameter.

In VMware, snapshots don’t have tags or custom attributes of their own. So, these values are fetched from their parent VMs.
