Changes to Content Manager administrative cmdlets introduced in SDL Web 8.5
SDL Web 8.5 introduced some changes to a number of Content Manager administrative cmdlets.
SDL Web 8.5 moved a number of cmdlets, originally in the .NET assembly Tridion.ContentManager.Automation.dll, into a new .NET assembly called Tridion.ContentManager.Server.Automation.dll. The difference between the two is as follows:
- Tridion.ContentManager.Automation.dll contains cmdlets that can be run remotely against a Content Manager server.
- Tridion.ContentManager.Server.Automation.dll contains cmdlets that must be run locally on a Content Manager server.
The following cmdlets can only be run locally, and so were moved from Tridion.ContentManager.Automation.dll to Tridion.ContentManager.Server.Automation.dll:
| Cmdlet name | Description |
|---|---|
Convert-TcmPublishStates | Repurposes publish states from PublicationTarget or TargetType to provided TargetType. |
Convert-TcmBinaries | Transfers binaries from one storage provider to another. |
Find-TcmMissingBinaries | Finds all Content Manager items that have references to binaries which are missing in the permanent storage |
Find-TcmOrphanBinaries | Finds all orphan binaries in the permanent storage provider. |
Start-TcmTracing | Starts a new tracing session. |
Stop-TcmTracing | Stops a specific tracer instance or all tracing sessions. |
