Using Shell Variables

This topic describes using shell variables to display application metadata. This information can also be passed to the Move-DominoApplication cmdlet for migrating data to Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. You can display the information to the console or store it off-line. You can also query shell variables by using Microsoft Windows PowerShell commands for reporting.

The following table shows the various ways that a shell variable can be used to retrieve metadata from Domino applications.

The following example creates a shell variable named $App:

	Copy Code
$App=Get-DominoApplication

$App argument	Description
`$App.name`	Displays name.
`$App.count`	Displays total number of applications.
`$App \| select-object name, StorageByteSize \| sort-object StorageByteSize`	Selects only the Name and StorageByteSize, sorts by StorageByteSize and displays it.
`$App[0]`	Displays first application's metadata.
`$App[0].ItemCount`	Displays the number of stored items associated with the first database.
`$App[0].Roles`	Displays a list of access control list (ACL) roles from the first database.
`$App[0].Roles[1]`	Displays details for the first database's Second Role.
`$App[0].Roles[1].PrivilegesOn`	Displays the privileges that are enabled for the first database's Second Role.
