Installing the PowerShell Module

PowerShell is a powerful scripting and command line environment that replaces the Windows Command Prompt. Microsoft designed PowerShell to provide more task automation and configuration management tools based on the .NET framework. PowerShell includes a command line shell and an extensive scripting language that uses small programs called "cmdlets".

PowerShell can provide creative ways to simplify and automate tedious and repetitive tasks by creating scripts that combine multiple commands.

JAMS has fully incorporated PowerShell. The JAMS Client component includes a PowerShell Module that includes dozens of JAMS cmdlets, which are detailed in the topic:JAMS PowerShell Cmdlets.

NOTE: If you want to use the PowerShell Core Execution Method, the .NET Core Framework must be installed.

Adding the JAMS PowerShell Module

NOTE: The PowerShell cmdlets listed below cannot be used with PowerShell Core.

Before using a PowerShell Module, you will need to add it to the PowerShell environment.

This can be performed by using the Import-Module cmdlet. The JAMS Module can be added by simply running the following cmdlet in PowerShell:

Copy 
PS C:\> Import-Module JAMS

To get a list of the commands in the JAMS Module, enter:

Copy 
PS C:> Get-Command -Module JAMS
JAMS

To get help with any JAMS-related or other PowerShell command, you can use the following case example for the Submit-JAMSEntry cmdlet:

Copy 
PS C:\> Get-Help Submit-JAMSEntry
