Description

The New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption cmdlet creates an object that contains advanced options for workflow session configurations, that is session configurations designed to run Windows PowerShell Workflow workflows.

You can use the PSWorkflowExecutionOption object that New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption generates as the value of the SessionTypeOption parameter of cmdlets that create or change a session configuration, such as the Register-PSSessionConfiguration and Set-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlets.

Each parameter of the New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption cmdlet represents a property of the workflow session configuration option object that the cmdlet returns. If you omit a parameter, the cmdlet creates the object with a default value for the property.

The New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption cmdlet is part of the Windows PowerShell Workflow feature.

You can also add workflow common parameters to this command. For more information about workflow common parameters, see about_WorkflowCommonParameters.

This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

Examples

Example 1: Create a Workflow Options Object

New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption -MaxSessionsPerWorkflow 10 -MaxDisconnectedSessions 200

SessionThrottleLimit                       : 100
PersistencePath                            : C:\Users\User01\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\WF\PS
MaxPersistenceStoreSizeGB                  : 10
PersistWithEncryption                      : False
MaxRunningWorkflows                        : 30
AllowedActivity                            : {PSDefaultActivities}
OutOfProcessActivity                       : {InlineScript}
EnableValidation                           : True
MaxDisconnectedSessions                    : 200
MaxConnectedSessions                       : 100
MaxSessionsPerWorkflow                     : 10
MaxSessionsPerRemoteNode                   : 5
MaxActivityProcesses                       : 5
ActivityProcessIdleTimeoutSec              : 60
RemoteNodeSessionIdleTimeoutSec            : 60
WorkflowShutdownTimeoutMSec                : 500

This command uses the New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption cmdlet to increase the MaxSessionsPerWorkflow value to 10 and decrease the MaxDisconnectedSessions value to 200.

The output shows the object that the cmdlet returns.

Example 2: Using a Workflow Options Object

# Create a Workflow Options object and save it in a variable
$wo = New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption -MaxSessionsPerWorkflow 10 -MaxDisconnectedSessions 200
# Create the ITWorkflow session configuration
Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name ITWorkflows -SessionTypeOption $wo -Force

The first two commands create a new session configuration object and registers it.

The third command uses the Get-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet to the get the ITWorkflows session configuration and the Format-List to display all properties of the session configuration in a list.The output shows that the workflow options in the session configuration. Specifically, the session configuration has a MaxSessionsPerWorkflow property with a value of 10 and a MaxDisconnectedSessions property with a value of 200.

Parameters

-ActivityProcessIdleTimeoutSec

-AllowedActivity

-EnableValidation

-MaxActivityProcesses

-MaxConnectedSessions

-MaxDisconnectedSessions

-MaxPersistenceStoreSizeGB

-MaxRunningWorkflows

-MaxSessionsPerRemoteNode

-MaxSessionsPerWorkflow

-OutOfProcessActivity

-PersistencePath

-PersistWithEncryption

-RemoteNodeSessionIdleTimeoutSec

-SessionThrottleLimit

-WorkflowShutdownTimeoutMSec

Inputs

None

You can't pipe objects to this cmdlet.

Outputs

PSWorkflowExecutionOption

Notes

When the maximum value set by an option is exceeded, the command to create another instance in the session fails, unless noted in the parameter description. For example, if the value of MaxConnectedSessions is 100. The command to create the 101st session to a remote node (target computer) fails.

The properties of a session configuration object vary with the options set for the session configuration and the values of those options. Also, session configurations that use a session configuration file have additional properties.

In particular, the properties of session configurations that include a PSWorkflowExecutionOptions object vary based on the workflow option values. For example, if the session configuration includes a PSWorkflowExecutionOptions object that sets a non-default value for the SessionThrottleLimit property, the session configuration has a SessionThrottleLimit property. Otherwise, it does not.
