Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

| Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
| DatabaseCredentials | Optional | System.Management.Automation.PSCredential | Specifies the database credentials for SQL Authentication that are used to access the state service database. If this parameter is not specified, Windows authentication is used. The type must be a valid PSCredential object. | ||
| SessionTimeout | Optional | System.Nullable | Specifies the time, in minutes that an ASP.NET session will remain active with no user activity. | ||
| WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
