Start a specified environment through LCS.

Invoke-D365LcsEnvironmentStart [[-ProjectId] <Int32>] [[-BearerToken] <String>] [-EnvironmentId] <String>
 [[-LcsApiUri] <String>] [-FailOnErrorMessage] [[-RetryTimeout] <TimeSpan>] [-EnableException]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Start a specified IAAS environment that is Customer Managed through the LCS API.

Invoke-D365LcsEnvironmentStart -ProjectId 123456789 -EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e" -BearerToken "JldjfafLJdfjlfsalfd..." -LcsApiUri "https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com"

This will trigger the environment start operation upon the given environment through the LCS API. 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. The request will authenticate with the BearerToken "JldjfafLJdfjlfsalfd...". The http request will be going to the LcsApiUri "https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com"

Invoke-D365LcsEnvironmentStart -EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e"

This will trigger the environment start operation upon the given environment through the LCS API. The environment is identified by the EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e", which can be obtained in the LCS portal.

All default values will come from the configuration available from Get-D365LcsApiConfig.

The default values can be configured using Set-D365LcsApiConfig.

Invoke-D365LcsEnvironmentStart -ProjectId 123456789 -EnvironmentId "13cc7700-c13b-4ea3-81cd-2d26fa72ec5e" -RetryTimeout "00:01:00"

This will trigger the environment start operation upon the given environment through the LCS API, and allow for the cmdlet to retry for no more than 1 minute. 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.

All default values will come from the configuration available from Get-D365LcsApiConfig.

The default values can be configured using Set-D365LcsApiConfig.

The project id for the Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations project inside LCS

Default value can be configured using Set-D365LcsApiConfig

Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: 1
Default value: $Script:LcsApiProjectId
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

The token you want to use when working against the LCS api

Default value can be configured using Set-D365LcsApiConfig

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: Token

Required: False
Position: 2
Default value: $Script:LcsApiBearerToken
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

The unique id of the environment that you want to take action upon

The Id can be located inside the LCS portal

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: 3
Default value: None
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"

Default value can be configured using Set-D365LcsApiConfig

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: 4
Default value: $Script:LcsApiLcsApiUri
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

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: 5
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

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
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.

Only Customer Managed IAAS environments are supported with this API. Microsoft Managed IAAS environments need to remain online to allow for Microsoft update operations and are not supported with this API. Self-service environments do not have a stop functionality and will not work with this API.
