Template Versions
Synopsis
Templates can have versions, but what do they do?
Description
The effect of versions
Versions allow having multiple, well … versions, of the same template available at the same time.
There can only be one copy of a given template at a given version in a given store.
Listing all versions of a template
By default, Get-PSMDTemplate only shows the latest version found.To instead list all versions of all templates use the -All switch.
Get-PSMDTEmplate -All
Selecting by version
Get-PSMDTemplate has two additional parameters that target version:
-MinimumVersion- Only templates with at least that version will be returned (the latest only unless-Allwas also specified)-RequiredVersion- Only the specified version will be returned.
Invoking a specific version of a template
It is possible to invoke a specific template from a specific store at a specific version by using Get-PSMDTEmplate to select it and piping the result to Invoke-PSMDTemplate.
Get-PSMDTemplate -TemplateName function -RequiredVersion "1.0.0.0" | Invoke-PSMDTemplate
Cleaning up deprecated versions
Remove-PSMDTemplate can be used to delete templates.
It has a special parameter dealing with outdated templates: -Deprecated
If this is specified, only templates that are not of the latest version will be removed:
Remove-PSMDTemplate -TemplateName function -Deprecated
