Edit-AXModelManifest

Modifies the descriptive properties of a model in the Microsoft Dynamics AX model store database.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Edit-AXModelManifest -Model <String> [-Config <String> ] [-Database <String> ] [-ManifestFile <String> ] [-ManifestProperty <String> ] [-Server <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed description

The Edit-AXModelManifest cmdlet enables you to modify the descriptive properties of a model in the Microsoft Dynamics AX model store database. You can pass in an XML manifest file that contains a list of properties to change for a model, or you can change individual properties from the cmdlet. A manifest file can pass values for the following properties, in the data type indicated in parentheses: Name (String), DisplayName (String), Description (String), Publisher (String), Signed (Logical), Category (Int), InstallMode (Int), and Version. Version is a four-part indicator, in the format Number.Number.Number.Number, for example, 6.0.0.0. To change a manifest, you must identify the model, and pass in either a manifest file location, or the ManifestProperty that you want to change.

Parameters

Specifies an Application Object Server (AOS) configuration to use to determine the model store database and server name. The default value is the currently active configuration. This parameter cannot be used with the -Database or -Server parameters. If no -Database, -Server, or -Config parameters are supplied, the default configuration is used.

-ManifestProperty<String>

Specifies the properties to change. The properties that can be changed include the following, with data type indicated in parentheses: Name (String), DisplayName (String), Description (String), Publisher (String), Version, and InstallMode (String).

Property names are case-sensitive when they are passed in.

Version is a four-part indicator, in the format Number.Number.Number.Number, for example, 6.0.0.0.

Possible values for InstallMode are Standard, Overwrite, and Conflict. Standard stops the import process if a conflicting model element is encountered in the same layer. Overwrite replaces the existing model element with the imported model element. Conflict creates a conflict model that contains the conflicting model element in the related update layer. For example, for the ISV layer, the update layer is ISP. The default value is Standard.

Note: Manifests also include the following properties that cannot be modified through this cmdlet: Signed, Layer, Category.
