Detailed Description

The New-SPEnterpriseSearchPropertyDatabase cmdlet creates a new property store for use by a search service application. This cmdlet is used when the search functionality is initially configured to scale out a search application. The PropertyStore object stores metadata about content for a search service application.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

DatabaseName

Required

System.String

Specifies the database for the new property store.

The type must be a valid name of a database; for example, PropertyStoreDB1.

SearchApplication

Required

Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the search application that contains the property store collection.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid search application name (for example, SearchApp1); or an instance of a valid SearchServiceApplication 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.

Note

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

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

DatabasePassword

Optional

System.String

Specifies the password of the database associated with the Database Name parameter.

DatabaseServer

Optional

System.String

Specifies the name of the host server for the database that is specified in DatabaseName. The default value is the SQL Server host for the Central Administration database.

The type must be a valid SQL Server host name; for example, SQLServerHost1.

DatabaseUsername

Optional

System.String

Specifies the account name from the Database Server parameter.

FailoverDatabaseServer

Optional

System.String

Specifies the server to be used for failover when SQL Server mirroring is used.

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
