Updating Storage Areas with "Get-PWStorageAreaList" and "Update-PWStorage"

Hello:

I am trying to update my Storage areas "Host"

The cmdlet "Update-PWStorage" instructs to read in the information about the Storage area:

age

PS C:\PS> $storage = Get-PWStorageAreaList -Storageareanames "Storage Area"

PS C:\PS> $storage

Name        : Storage area
ID          : 1
StorageID   : 1
Description : Storage area
Host        : hcv591pwistaa01.ngds.state.mi.us
Path        : d:/PWDataStorage/Storage AreaSA
Protocol    : TCPIP

Area"

You are then supposed to change the parameters:

PS C:\PS> $storage.Host = "hcv591pwispaa01.ngds.state.mi.us"

. (and then "Update the Storage area")

The Trouble is, every time I try to change any of the parameters, I get a "READ Only" Error:

'Host' is a ReadOnly property.
At line:1 char:1
+ $storage.Host = "hcv591pwispaa01.ngds.state.mi.us"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyAssignmentException

Wrong procedure?...

or is there another way?

Thanks

Bentley has the properties in the object returned as read-only. You can tell because:

> $storage | get-member


   TypeName: Bentley.ProjectWise.PowerShell.Common.Storage

Name        MemberType Definition
----        ---------- ----------
Equals      Method     bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method     int GetHashCode()
GetType     Method     type GetType()
ToString    Method     string ToString()
Description Property   string Description {get;}
Host        Property   string Host {get;}
ID          Property   int ID {get;}
Name        Property   string Name {get;}
Path        Property   string Path {get;}
Protocol    Property   string Protocol {get;}
StorageID   Property   int StorageID {get;}

all the properties are listed as {get;} if you could change them they would be listed as {get;set;}

Not sure it'll work but you can try making your own object with the same properties and feed that back into Update-PWStorage:

$new_storage = [pscustomobject]@{
    ID=$storage.ID
    Name=$storage.Name
    Description=$storage.Description
    Host=$storage.Host
    Path=$storage.Path
    Protocol=$storage.Protocol
    StorageID=$storage.StorageID
}

# change values for update
$new_storage.host = 'new-value'
