Export-Csv several files
It is asked that we list all powered on virtual machines in a cluster to backup purposes. I am able to get this information into a CSV file. However, the backup engineer want a single file for each proxy server that uses this file to save these list of virtual machines.
A simple way to do this is the same as this:
Credit source: http://www.youdidwhatwithtsql.com/splitting-csv-files-with-powershell/374
I think that the next PowerCLI script will do the job.
param($Cluster, $NumberOfProxyServers = 3, $FileName = 'proxy') $VMs = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VM | Sort-Object -Property Name $NumberOfVMs =$VMs.Count $NumberOfVMsPerProxyServer = $NumberOfVMs/$NumberOfProxyServers for($i = 0; $i -lt $NumberOfProxyServers; $i++) { $Range = (($i*$NumberOfVMsPerProxyServer)..(($i+1)*$NumberOfVMsPerProxyServer-1)) $VMs | Select-Object -Property Name | Select-Object -Index $Range | Export-Csv -Path "$FileName$i.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture }
Save the script as a .ps1 file, for example, New - VMProxyFile.ps1 and run it as:
. \New-VMProxyFile-cluster "YourClustername".
Proxy file numbers starting by 0. I hope this isn't a problem.

Export of several files in a new catalog
I usually work in a wide catalog, called Wildlife_Scenic.
During the winter, I photographed my child to some of the area ski comps and imported into separated in the Wildlife_Scenic catalog files.
G: drive has folders as JacksonHole, Sun Valley, ParkCity, Roxanne and each of these subfolders with some of the different clubs and skiers.
Now that the season is over, I want to export these folders and subfolders in a new catalog Ski_2010, preserving the subfolders. Once exported, to their own catalogue, I intend remove them from the Wildlife_Scenic catalog, but I'll leave them in the original files on the hard G disc.
I tried the control by selecting many files and exporting it to a new catalog, but it has exported the first folder. The dialog box said something like 'folder to export as a new catalog. I just opened this catalog, and he maintained the subfolders.
So, I need to export all of the individual records in a new catalog, and then import each of those back in a compiled catalog? Did I miss an option to export the Group of selected files at once in a new catalog?
Thanks in advance,
Mr. Jackson
I'm not see why do you see a "PITA". !
I can do the export as a catalogue of several files-ONE on one (Ctrl) key and a few mouse clicks! then type a name.
1. hold down the CTRL key and click each file you want to select - (it works in grid or Loupe mode, and you don't have to select all the images individually, just records.)
2. select in the top menu {file > export as catalog.} (Do not do a right-click on a folder for this as ONE folder would be exported!)
3. If you uncheck the box for "export only selected photos:" then ALL the images in ALL the folders will appear in the exported catalog. The other options will depend on the location where the exported catalog is used.

BUG? UTF-8 not Latin database of characters in the export csv IR file right of export
Hello
I have this problem: my database character set is UTF-8 (AL32UTF8) and contains data in a table that is used in IR are Greek (not Latin). While I can see them displayed correctly in IR and also through select / in the object browser SQL Workshop when I try to download as csv csv product has no Greek characters exported correctly, while Latin are ok.
This problem is the same if I try IE or Firefox. Also export to HTML works successfully and I see Greek characters it correctly!
Is there any problem with UTF-8 characters, not latins in export to CSV from IRs? Anyone can confirm this, or has a problem of similar export with UTF-8 DB and not Latin characters?
How could I solve this problem?
TIAHi MS,
I modified your application, change the main language of the Application into English and I set automatic encoding of CSV to no.
Now when I run the page 8 in your application and I download in CSV format, it is correctly encoded in UTF - 8. Of course, when my version of Excel it opens it directly, the characters appear corrupt again because my version of Excel is waiting for windows-1252 encoding. However, if I import the data into Excel (data-> text), and I chose the file origin of 65001: Unicode (UTF-8), all data appears correctly.
+ > having different things on screen and in the file portrays CSV file is a bug, not a feature. +
I have now adjusted your application settings so that "what is represented in CSV are equal" and so it's not a bug in the APEX.

Is there a way to control or to format the output to a CSV of powercli? It seems that columns are always just in random order and I would be able to dictate that.
The problem is not with the Export-Csv cmdlet, but with the way in which the properties are stored in an object by PowerShell.
In PowerShell v2, you can explicitly specify the order before the Export-CSV
$array | Select prop1, prop1, prop2 | Export Csv C:\file.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture
In PowerShell v3, you now have the casting [ordered].
See Export-Xlsx, the suite and the data ordered, who throw also works with Export-Csv

Importing several files .csv in the data portal
I'm looking to import data that contains multiple .csv files in the data portal. I have a code to succeed, which can erase all data from the data portal, open a dialoge box to find new data and open new data using a .csv use. I want to improve this script to be able to have the ability to load multiple datasets in the data at a time portal, but I have a limited knowledge of the VBS coding structure. Can someone advise measures to reach this solution with VBS minimal coding experience? Thank you all in advance for your help.

How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms
Hello
How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms
For example. I have the block called A.what never the data displayed on a block, when I click on a button, displays the block data, must be exported to the csv file.
My application is running on the unix operating system.
Please help on this.
First of all. What is your version of forms (for example: 11.1.2.2.0 not 11g). Finally, who will use the .csv file? If it is a user on their client computer - CLIENT_TEXT_IO TEXT_IO or WebUtil are standard packages used to export data to a file of Oracle Forms.
The amount of data to be exported? If you export only a couple hundred lines - export of Froms will be OK. If you export more lines than that (300 + lines) then the export will be extremely slow to your username. Keep in mind that forms is not designed to perform data exports - there are better tools available for this...

Change to several files in ME export destination
I think I must have spaced and forgot how to change the export destination for several files in ME all at once. I looked through the manual and couldn't find a way to do this, and I know that I've done in the past, or at least I think I have. I don't know I'm missing something obvious.
Thank you... Jim Watt
Hello
You can do this in two ways - depends on what you want to do.
1. If you want to put multiple files in SOUL and change destination to exit for them:
-Simply select all the files you have in the f.eg SOUL. pressing ALT + A on your keyboard
-Then click on the destination of one of your files path
-Choose destination that you want to select and confirm that Pope
-After that all your outouts for all of your files should change for destinations
2. If you want to select a main destination for all of your files that will allow you to put the soul at any time:
-Open the SOUL
-go to Edit/Preferences
-Select Specify output destination (1)
-Browse for the destination you need (2)
-Press OK
-a from now on, any file that you import/implement SOUL will set out for the destination you have selected
Hope this has been helpful - yf you have any other question, I'll be more than happy to help you. If my post has resolved your problem - please mark as correct - by practice that will help you find the answer to all those who have the same problem.

Why I can't import exported TB LiveMail files?
Just installed TB b/c LiveMail stop working (was in constant send mode). Set up TB and can get and send messages to the server. Restarted. LiveMail is now working... Exported "all."

To import an address book which is in .csv format.
You can use the instructions below, but it can help you to change the column headers in your .csv recorded file to match these headers used in Thunderbird. Any .csv file can be opened by using for example: Excel. See this link for a list of the used column headers:
- In Thunderbird, open "address book".
- "Tools" > "import."
- Select "Address books" and click "next".
- Select 'File (LDIF, .tabtable, .csv, .txt) text' and click 'next '.
- Find the registered .csv file and click 'open '.
- You may need to map the column headings to match those of Thunderbird.

Import of csv - Cluster Get - Export csv
Hello community vmware,
I'm looking for a script simple ps import a list of vm (based on a csv file that I feed into it).
I would then result to a csv file of the 2 column (1 column with the name of the virtual machine) and the other with the corresponding cluster name, in that it is.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Try something like this
It assumes that your input CSV file looks like this
Name
VM1
VM2
$report = import-Csv - UseCulture names.cvs | %{
Get-VM-name $_. Name |
Select Name,@{N='Cluster'; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}

Export from iPhoto files created a monster
I'm on an old iMac 2008 Yosemite operation and loading of the LR4. I'm transferring my files from iPhoto to LR and exported successfully to iPhoto (now ' Photo') of files in a folder that LR can recognize (although I'm not sure that I could do it again!). The 2 problems are:
(1) export created several versions of many images in files with size varying from double-digit KB to double digit MG; and
(2) with the 'faces' in iPhoto, individual photos function face presented as individual files, for example, if I had a single image with 10 people in it, I found myself at least 11 files - the original, and a file of each face on the photo! Therefore, my "Export iPhoto" folder is more 13 000 images! I could try to eliminate some watching them in LR, but they are everywhere and do not show me to those who are the bigger (higher resolution files).
I tried to go through the folder in the Finder and I cut it down by a 1000 files, but I'm going nuts. Any suggestions? Of course, I would prefer to export again and avoid this problem. Short of that, is there a shortcut can someone suggest to find duplicates in LR and identify which are the best records of resolution?
Thank you very much.

It forces the cmdlet Export-Csv to use the separator used in your locale to use.
By default there is a comma, but in other regions, it may for example be a semicolon.

Hello
I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli
Two functions I have installed function {Get-VMEvents
< #.
. Logbook
Get events for an entity or query all events.
. Description
This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to
cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time.
You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script.
. Example of
Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent".
He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent"
'VmClonedEvent '.
. Example of
Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '.
Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of
result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents.
Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span >
. Example of
Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '.
Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of
cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category
events.
. Example of
Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent".
Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,.
and events when when / what mac address is assigned
. VM parameter
This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name
There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case
where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as
Well.
. Types of parameters
If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return
Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent."
"VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc...
. Category of a parameter
Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you
you want to filter events.

Creator: office\greg
This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not
more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have
entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible
you find this event.
. Example of
Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.
This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names
myvm1 and myvm2
. Example of
Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate
This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are
Located in Cluster1
. Example of
Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate
This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are
located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you
having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.
. Example of
$report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate
$report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv
Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.
You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select
$report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth
So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.
. Example of
Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55
WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?
VMname: testvm55
Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03
CreatedMonth: October
CreationMethod: NewVM
Creator: home\greg
In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.
You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on
dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is
probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.
. Parameter VMnames
This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm
names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or
get - view.

he responds with

I can't understand why he says this?
What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?
I was intending to use
get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".
But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."
Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls
Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.
You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.
If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.
$vmName = 'testvm '.
$tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

Include the attribute custom report (Export-Csv)
I am writing a script to report on disk / the use of the capacity for each virtual machine in the environment.
I try to include a column in the generated report (CSV), which includes the CustomField/CustomAttributes for each virtual computer as well as the news of disk capacity. The report runs fine, but after you export the report to CSV (Export-Csv using) the newly created column just to the custom attribute field displays the following parameters for each line/entry:
VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Util.ReadOnlyDictionary'2 (System.String, System.String)
When I use out-file it works, but formatting is very obscured...
Here's the function/script that I use, I 'bolded in Red' the part of the script which I believe is the origin of the problem:
Function Get-VMGuestDiskUsage {}(param[parameter (valuefrompipeline = $true required = $true, HelpMessage = "enter an entity vm")]([VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl] $VM){in process$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue".foreach ($disk in $VM.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Also please let me know if I did a poor job explaining the scenario and what I'm after here.
Hello, jSun311-
Because the property "CustomFields" itself is an object, and you try to get out of the strings to the CSV format, you must manage the object. You can replace the line in question by something like:
$objDisk | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CustomFields -Value (($VM.CustomFields | %{"$($_.Key) = $($_.Value)"}) -join ",")
Which would result in the output for the column that might look like:
dTestAttrib0 = someValue,dTestAttrib1 = AnotherValue
In other words, there is a list separated by characters of the key/value pairs in the CustomFields property for the virtual machine.
In addition, if you are interested, you might be able to clean up your code a bit by using the '-property ' New-Object parameter. As:
...foreach ($disk in $VM.Guest.disks) { New-Object PSObject -Property @{ VM = $VM.Name Volume = $disk.Path CapacityMB = [math]::Round($disk.Capacity / 1MB) FreeSpaceMB = [math]::Round($disk.FreeSpace/1MB) "Usage%" = "{0:p2}" -f (($disk.Capacity - $disk.FreeSpace) / $disk.Capacity) CustomFields = ($VM.CustomFields | %{"$($_.Key) = $($_.Value)"}) -join "," } ## end new-object} ## end foreach...
In this way, you shouldn't bother with calls Add-Member and repetitive cases here. Enjoy.

result of foreach not getting attached to the export-csv
Hello people,
I am trying to learn powercli. I use under commads to get information for VMs. looks like the results not add in the csv file. CSV file shows the result of the latest VM in import-csv file.
Q1 - can you please help identify what is bad in the commands below?
Q2 - How can I use a single export-csv command to get an output of lines both (get - vm and get-cluster)?
$vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
{foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}
Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name', 'Host ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmname-host-info.csv
Get-cluster - vm $_.name | Select 'name ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmcluster-info.csv}Thank you!
You're crushed the CSV file with each iteration of the loop.
Why do you want to produce 2 CSV files? Is it not easier to keep all the info in 1 file?
Her you could do something like that
$vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
& {{foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}}
Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name","Host",@{N="Cluster '; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}}} | Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv
But the best is to use the track more PowerShell
$vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
Get-VM-name $vmname |
Select Name,Host,@{N="Cluster; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}} |
Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv
