Develop Windows PowerShell scripts

You can develop Windows PowerShell scripts to interact with Finance and Operations apps and consume management functions.

Windows PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET. PowerShell helps system administrators and power-users to rapidly automate tasks that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS, and Windows) and processes.

PowerShell commands let you manage computers from the command line. PowerShell providers let you access data stores, such as the registry and certificate store, as easily as you access the file system. PowerShell includes a rich expression parser and a fully developed scripting language.

As a developer, you can create Windows PowerShell scripts in your developer box to automate tasks. In many cases, there may be several steps to a process you perform often. To help streamline and work more efficiently, you can write Windows PowerShell scripts to automate the steps. Your PowerScripts would be used in your developer environment.

The following are some scenarios where you can use PowerShell:

• Database Sync – A PowerShell script can be used to synchronize the database. This is especially useful when you are copying a database between environments or during an upgrade.
• Restart services – You can create a script to restart services. You might want to do this when you are troubleshooting an environment.
• Reset the data mart – If your organization uses Financial Reports design for financial reporting, you can write a script that resets the data mart for financial reporting.
• Deploy and install models – If you want to automate deployment and installation of models, you can use a PowerShell script. You can do this for software deployable packages as well.
