PowerShell Script for Copy Vault

I'm trying to add new-object for output class but it is look like for output class constructor doesn't exist. 

Any ideas?

I do not have any sample code for you.  I don't tend to use Powershell very much.

Why are you creating one of these?  It is returned by the call to M-Files API - CopyVault Method so you should not need to instantiate it.

As I understand it, I have to create a copy vault and define what I want to copy and what are PD's ,
and for the target vault I must specify all the parameters that are specified in the documentation.
Finaly, CopyVaultJob will include source vault with all PD's for copy and CopyVaultOutputInfo will contain definition for target vault.

Yes, but you pass in a "CopyVault" instance - which your code is already creating and populating - then you call CopyVault and it returns you a CopyVaultOutputInfo instance.  You don't create the CopyVaultOutoutInfo instance.

Hello Craig,

Thank you for answer.

It's looks i move to the right direction.

I'm passing  VaultProperties  with CopyVaultJob and it is looks like working (as you can see in screenshot) but nothing doesn't happen.Script is running but line 

$server.VaultManagementOperations.CopyVault($copyVaultJob) 

Don't working or working and I don't see any result

#Source vault Definition for Copy (Prod Vault)

$copyVaultJob = new-object MFilesAPI.CopyVaultJobClass
$copyVaultJob.CopyflagAllExceptData = $true
$copyVaultJob.VaultGUID = "{EDE7D088-6817-425A-B59E-D48570AE51CC}"

#Target Vault definiton for copy (Dev Vault)

$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.DisplayName = "Dev_Vault"
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.AdvancedEventLog = $false
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.EncryptionOfFileDataAtRest = $false
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.ExtendedMetadataDrivenPermissions =$false
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.FileDataConnectionString = $null
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.FileDataStorageType = 0
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.FullTextSearchLanguage = "eng"
#$destVaultProperty.SQLDatabase <---- next time

$iconPath = 'C:\Users\bvainrub\Pictures\Icons\ICONS\vault.ico'
# Read the icon file as bytes
$iconBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($iconPath)
# Assign the byte array to the Icon property
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.Icon = $iconBytes

$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.MainDataFolder = "C:\Program Files\M-Files\Server Vaults\"
$copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.VaultGUID = [GUID]::NewGuid().ToString()

Write-Host "New GUID :"$copyVaultJob.VaultGUID "For Vault" $copyVaultJob.DisplayName

Write-Host "Creating Vault..." $copyVaultJob.VaultProperties.DisplayName

 $server.VaultManagementOperations.CopyVault($copyVaultJob)

Write-Host "Completed"

How long have you left this?  Copying a vault can take some time.

More than 1 hour

I can't see any open API issues related to this method.  Some questions:

• Do you have any exception trapping earlier or later which may be affecting this?
• How large is the source vault (database and files)?
• Are you sure that the various parameters are correct on your copy job?
• If you do the same from another language do you see this?
• What version of PowerShell, and what version of M-Files?

HI Craig,

Do you have any exception trapping earlier or later which may be affecting this?
No just promt after each important step in the script
Write-Host "what is done"

How large is the source vault (database and files)?
All together :  63.9 MB (67,050,431 bytes)

Are you sure that the various parameters are correct on your copy job?
No,I did not find how to define Firebird DB. I just assume M-Files take Firebird like default DB.
SQL DB I did not configured and line is commented:
#$destVaultProperty.SQLDatabase <---- next time

If you do the same from another language do you see this?
I did it in english and french same results.

What version of PowerShell, and what version of M-Files?

Re: language I meant C# or other programming language outside of Powershell. I ask because I know some people have had PS-specific issues.

Also: what version of powershell and what version of M-Files?
