Convert-CMApplication

  • Reference
Module:
ConfigurationManager

Converts an application object.

Syntax

Convert-CMApplication
       -InputObject <PSObject>
       [-DisableWildcardHandling]
       [-ForceWildcardHandling]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Convert-CMApplication cmdlet converts an application object to an application SDK object or an application SDK object to an application object.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Get an application object and convert it

PS XYZ:\> Get-CMApplication -ApplicationName "Application01" | Convert-CMApplication

This command gets the application object named Applicaton01 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Convert-CMApplication, which converts the application object to an application SDK object.

Example 2: Get an SDK application object and convert it

PS XYZ:\> $SdkApp = ConvertTo-CMApplication -InputObject (Get-CMApplication -ApplicationName "Application01")
PS XYZ:\> Convert-CMApplication -InputObject $SdkApp

The first command converts the application named Application01 to an application SDK object and stores the object in the $SdkApp variable.

The second command converts the SDK application object in $SdkApp to an application object.
