Dynamic dependent parameters in PowerShell
2
I need to create a PowerShell function with dynamic parameters that are dependent on each other ($server, $database, $table).
1. When the user picks $server, parameter $database needs to be auto-populated.
2. And, depending on what value selected for $database the $table parameter needs to be auto-populated.
I have the code for single dynamic parameter ($server $database) here. (This too was posted by me, with a bounty). Someone else on this
Forum has asked a similar question here, but no one has answered so far.
Here's the code for single dynamic parameter:
import-module sqlps
function Get-Database
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Dynamic validationset of databases
#>
#Requires -Version 3.0
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory)][string]$server
)
DynamicParam
$newparams = New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
$paramattributes = New-Object System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute
$paramattributes.ParameterSetName = "__AllParameterSets"
$paramattributes.Mandatory = $false
$systemdbs = @("master", "msdb", "model", "SSIS", "distribution")
$srv = New-Object 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Server' "$server"
$dblist = ($srv.Databases).name
process
$UserDb = $psboundparameters.Databases
Write-Host "You picked: $UserDb"
Clear-Host
Get-Database -server 'YourServerName' -Databases 'DynamicallyPopulatedDatabases'

See ifRegister-ArgumentCompleteris of use to you. It's far simpler than mucking about with dynamic parameters. It's included by default in PS 5 and is in TabExpansionPlusPlus for v3+.
