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

PS C:\>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

The first command uses the New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption cmdlet to create a workflow options object. The command saves the object in the $wo variable.
PS C:\>$wo = New-PSWorkflowExecutionOption -MaxSessionsPerWorkflow 10 -MaxDisconnectedSessions 200


The second command uses the Register-PSSessionConfiguration cmdlet to create the ITWorkflows session configuration. To set the workflow options in the session configuration,
the command uses the SessionTypeOption parameter. The value of the SessionTypeOption parameter is the workflow options object in the $wo variable. The command also uses the
Force parameter to suppress confirmations prompts.
PS C:\>Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name ITWorkflows -SessionTypeOption $wo -Force
WSManConfig: Microsoft.WSMan.Management\WSMan::localhost\Plugin


Type Keys Name

---- ---- ----

Container {Name=ITWorkflows} ITWorkflows

The third command shows the workflow options in the session configuration. The 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.
PS C:\>Get-PSSessionConfiguration ITWorkflows | Format-List -Property *
