Get all meta data details for environments from within a LCS project

It supports listing all environments, but also supports single / specific environments by searching based on EnvironmentId or EnvironmentName

Get-D365LcsEnvironmentMetadata -ProjectId "123456789"

This will show metadata for every available environment from the LCS project. The LCS project is identified by the ProjectId 123456789, which can be obtained in the LCS portal.

The request time for completion is directly impacted by the number of environments within the LCS project. Please be patient and let the system work for you.

You might experience that not all environments are listed with this request, that would indicate that the LCS project has many environments. Please use the -TraverseAllPages parameter to ensure that all environments are outputted.

Get-D365LcsEnvironmentMetadata -ProjectId "123456789" -TraverseAllPages

This will show metadata for every available environment from the LCS project, across multiple pages. The LCS project is identified by the ProjectId 123456789, which can be obtained in the LCS portal. It will use the default value for the maximum number of pages to return, 99 pages.

TraverseAllPages will increase the request time for completion, based on how many entries there is in the history. Please be patient and let the system work for you.

Please note that when fetching more than 6-7 pages, you will start hitting the 429 throttling from the LCS API endpoint

Get-D365LcsEnvironmentMetadata -ProjectId "123456789" -EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e"

This will show metadata for every available environment from the LCS project. The LCS project is identified by the ProjectId 123456789, which can be obtained in the LCS portal. The environment is identified by the EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e", which can be obtained in the LCS portal.

Get-D365LcsEnvironmentMetadata -ProjectId "123456789" -EnvironmentName "Contoso-SIT"

This will show metadata for every available environment from the LCS project. The LCS project is identified by the ProjectId 123456789, which can be obtained in the LCS portal. The environment is identified by the EnvironmentName "Contoso-SIT", which can be obtained in the LCS portal.

Get-D365LcsEnvironmentMetadata -ProjectId "123456789" -TraverseAllPages -FirstPages 2

This will show metadata for every available environment from the LCS project, across multiple pages. The LCS project is identified by the ProjectId 123456789, which can be obtained in the LCS portal. It will use the default value for the maximum number of pages to return, 99 pages. The cmdlet will be fetching the FirstPages 2, to limit the output from the cmdlet to only the newest 2 pages.

TraverseAllPages will increase the request time for completion, based on how many entries there is in the history. Please be patient and let the system work for you.

Instruct the cmdlet to fetch all pages, until there isn't more data available

This can be a slow operation, as it has to call the LCS API multiple times, fetching a single page per call

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Pagination
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Instruct the cmdlet how many pages that you want it to retrieve from the LCS API

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

URI / URL to the LCS API you want to use

The value depends on where your LCS project is located. There are multiple valid URI's / URL's

Valid options: "https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.eu.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.fr.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.sa.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.uae.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.ch.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.no.lcs.dynamics.com" "https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.cn" "https://lcsapi.gov.lcs.microsoftdynamics.us"

Instruct the cmdlet to write logging information to the console, if there is an error message in the response from the LCS endpoint

Used in combination with either Enable-D365Exception cmdlet, or the -EnableException directly on this cmdlet, it will throw an exception and break/stop execution of the script This allows you to implement custom retry / error handling logic

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

The retry timeout, before the cmdlet should quit retrying based on the 429 status code

Needs to be provided in the timspan notation: "hh:mm:ss"

hh is the number of hours, numerical notation only mm is the number of minutes ss is the numbers of seconds

Each section of the timeout has to valid, e.g. hh can maximum be 23 mm can maximum be 59 ss can maximum be 59

Not setting this parameter will result in the cmdlet to try for ever to handle the 429 push back from the endpoint

Type: TimeSpan
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: 00:00:00
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

This parameters disables user-friendly warnings and enables the throwing of exceptions This is less user friendly, but allows catching exceptions in calling scripts

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
