Examples

Get-VEMDBCollection Example 1. Getting All MongoDB Collections Within Specified Restore Session

This example shows how to get an array of all MongoDB databases within the specified restore session.

$session = Get-VEMDBRestoreSession

$collections = Get-VEMDBCollection -Session $session[1]

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEMDBRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the second restore session in the array).

Run the Get-VEMDBCollection cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Save the result to the $databases variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.

Get-VEMDBCollection Example 2. Getting MongoDB Databases With Specified Names

This example shows how to get an array of MongoDB databases with the specified names.

$session = Get-VEMDBRestoreSession

$dbnames = @("employees", "customers")

$databases = Get-VEMDBCollection -Session $session[1] -Name $dbnames

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEMDBRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the second restore session in the array.

Declare the $dbnames variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary MongoDB databases.
Run the Get-VEMDBDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and specify the necessary restore session. Set the $dbnames variable as the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $databases variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.
