Citrix Daas SDK

Test-SfDBConnection

Tests whether a database is suitable for use by the Citrix Storefront Service.

Syntax

Test-SfDBConnection
    [-DBConnection] <String>
    [-LoggingId <Guid>]
    [<CitrixCommonParameters>]
    [<CommonParameters>]
<!--NeedCopy-->

Description

Tests whether the database specified in the given connection string is suitable for use by the currently selected Citrix Storefront Service instance.

The service attempts to contact the specified database and returns a status indicating whether the database is both contactable and usable. The test does not impact any currently established connection from the service instance to another database in any way. The tested connection string is not recorded.

Only use of Windows authentication within the connection string is supported; a connection string containing SQL authentication credentials is always rejected as invalid.

The current service instance is the one on the local machine, or the one most recently specified using the -AdminAddress parameter of a Storefront SDK cmdlet.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Tests whether the service instance could use a database called XDDB on an SQL Server Express database running on the machine called dbserver. Integrated Windows authentication is required.

Test-SfDBConnection "Server=dbserver\SQLEXPRESS;Database=XDDB;Trusted_Connection=True"

Parameters

-DBConnection

Specifies the database connection string to be tested by the currently selected Citrix Storefront Service instance.

Type: String
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-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. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.

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

Outputs

Citrix.Fma.Sdk.Utilities.Service.ServiceStatusInfo

The Test-SfDBConnection cmdlet returns an object describing the status of the selected Storefront Service instance that would result if the connection string were used with the Set-SfDBConnection cmdlet together with extra diagnostics information for the specified connection string. The actual current status of the service is not changed. Possible diagnostic values are:

  • OK:

The Set-SfDBConnection command would succeed if it were executed with the supplied connection string.

  • DBUnconfigured:

No database connection string is set for the service instance.

  • DBRejectedConnection:

The database rejected the logon attempt from the Storefront Service instance. This may be because the service attempted to log on with invalid credentials or because a database has not been installed in the specified location.

  • InvalidDBConfigured:

The specified database does not exist, is not visible to the Storefront Service instance, or the service’s schema within the database is invalid.

  • DBNotFound:

The specified database could not be located with the given connection string.

  • DBNewerVersionThanService:

The Storefront Service instance is older than, and incompatible with, the service’s schema in the database. The service instance needs upgrading.

  • DBOlderVersionThanService:

The Storefront Service instance is newer than, and incompatible with, the service’s schema in the database. The database schema needs upgrading.

  • DBVersionChangeInProgress:

A database schema upgrade is currently in progress.

  • PendingFailure:

Connectivity between the Storefront Service instance and the database has been lost. This may be a transitory network error, but may indicate a loss of connectivity that requires administrator intervention.

  • Failed:

Connectivity between the Storefront Service instance and the database has been lost for an extended period of time, or has failed due to a configuration problem. The service instance cannot operate while its connection to the database is unavailable.

  • Unknown:

Service status cannot be determined.

Notes

If the command fails, the following errors can be returned.
