Description

Removes values from the collection-valued fields of a Task. Each optional parameter listed below corresponds to a field that can be removed from.

Parameters

-Async

If set, the operation runs asynchronously and returns a Task object that can be used to track its progress. Available only for those fields whose underlying operation supports asynchronous invocation.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-BestEffort

If set, the cmdlet continues processing further objects instead of throwing a terminating error when an operation fails for one object.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Confirm

Prompts for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False
Aliases cf

-Name

The name of the Task to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type string
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases name_label

-OtherConfig

Remove the given key and its corresponding value from the other\_config field of the given task. If the key is not in that Map, then do nothing.
Attribute Value
Type string
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-PassThru

If set, the cmdlet returns the affected object. By default the cmdlet does not generate any output.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Ref

The Task object to operate on, specified by its opaque reference.
Attribute Value
Type XenRef[Task]
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases opaque_ref

-SessionOpaqueRef

The session object on which to run the cmdlet. This overrides the default session and lets you target a specific open XenServer connection.
Attribute Value
Type string
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Task

The Task object to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type Task
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByValue)

-Uuid

The UUID of the Task to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type guid
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByPropertyName)

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

Examples

Example 1: Remove an otherconfig

PS> Remove-XenTaskProperty -OtherConfig "value" -Name "Demo Task"
Remove the given key and its corresponding value from the other\_config field of the given task. If the key is not in that Map, then do nothing.

Example 2: Remove an otherconfig piped from the getter

PS> Get-XenTask -Name "Demo Task" | Remove-XenTaskProperty -OtherConfig "value"
Remove the given key and its corresponding value from the other\_config field of the given task. If the key is not in that Map, then do nothing. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.

Example 3: Remove an otherconfig by uuid

PS> Remove-XenTaskProperty -OtherConfig "value" -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Remove the given key and its corresponding value from the other\_config field of the given task. If the key is not in that Map, then do nothing. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.
