[Type] for a ProjectWise Folder

Hello Bob,

Any chance that you can post more of your code, so that we can see what you are doing with the $PWfolder object as well as how it is being created (i.e. the definition of $TfolderID)?

Also, you have the pwps_dab PowerShell Module installed, correct?

sure.

here is the function:

===================================================

Function Break-Inheritance
{
 [CmdletBinding()]
 param
 (
 [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
 [Object]$PWFolder                         #??? IS "Object" THE BEST TYPE TO BE USING?

 )

$Fname = $PWfolder.name

write-Host "Processing Folder... $Fname"

 ## TEMPORARY USER SETUP
 $MemberType = "u"
 $MemberName_1 = 'Spongebob'  #Temporary User
 $MemberAccess = 'r'
 $MemberAccessString_1 = '--CDrw-RW--'

 #ADD TEMP USER TO FOLDER (FORCING A CONVERT TO LOCAL FOR ACLs)

 $return = Update-PWFolderSecurity -InputFolder $PWfolder -MemberType u -FolderSecurity -DocumentSecurity -IncludeInheritance -  MemberAccess $MemberAccess -MemberName $MemberName_1 #-Verbose
 if ($return -eq $true)
   {
      write-Host "Security converted to local on ... $Fname"

      write-Host "Cleanup..."

      ## REMOVE TEMP USER - (BUG? ALWAYS RETURNS 50000 ERROR EVEN THOUGH USER IS REMOVED)
      Remove-PWFolderSecurity -InputFolder $PWfolder -MemberType $MemberType -MemberName $MemberName_1 -FolderSecurity -      DocumentSecurity

      write-Host "Successful on ... $Fname"

   }
else
   {
      write-Host "Security unchanged on ... $Fname"
   }

}

===================================================

It is being called this way:

===================================================

#Dialog to get folder
$vault = Show-PWFolderBrowserDialog 
if ($vault.Name.Length -eq 0)
{
cls
Write-Host "Bye."
exit
}

# EXTRACT "SELECTED FOLDER" INFO
#-------------------------------------
$TfolderID = $vault.ProjectID
$Tvname = $vault.name
$TDescription = $vault.Description
$TargetPath = $vault.FullPath
$TDepth = $vault.FolderDepth
$Tcode = $vault.Code
$TStorageArea = $vault.Storage
$Tenv = $vault.Environment
$IsRichProject = $vault.IsRichProject
$IsParent = $vault.IsParent
$ParentID = $vault.ParentID
$TStorageAreaID = $vault.StorageID
$TGUID = $vault.ProjectGUIDString
$TURN = $vault.ProjectURN
$TCreator = $vault.FolderCreator
$TOwner = $vault.FolderOwnerName
$TUpdater = $vault.FolderUpdaterName

# CALL FUNCTION
Break-Inheritance $vault

===================================================

It works when I use "Object" as the Type...???

It just seems like it is not quite right, and I am missing where to find the exact type I need.

Thanks

Bob

You can inspect the input types for other cmdlets from the Command Add-on in PowerShell ISE. In this case it's a [PWPS_DAB.CommonTypes+ProjectWiseFolder]

AH! It's always "right there" where you never thought to look...or just didn't pay attention.

many thanks!!

...I wonder how many times I saw that...and just didn't read it??

Just tested it...that was it.

=====================================================

[CmdletBinding()]
param
(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[PWPS_DAB.CommonTypes+ProjectWiseFolder]$PWFolder

)

======================================================

Thank You!!

Bob
