Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Required | Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind | Specifies the search service application to update. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a search service application (for example, MySearchApp); or an instance of a valid SearchServiceApplication object. | ||
| AdminApplicationPool | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPIisWebServiceApplicationPoolPipeBind | Specifies the application pool for the administrative web service for the search service application. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of an application pool (for example, AdminAppPool1); or an instance of a valid IISWebServiceApplicationPool object. | ||
| ApplicationPool | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPIisWebServiceApplicationPoolPipeBind | Specifies an application pool for the search service application. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of an application pool (for example, AppPool1); or an instance of a valid IISWebServiceApplicationPool object. | |||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
