Get-NcCifsSessionFile : There is an error in XML document

JRN1 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:02:47 GMT

Hi,

if I write the output from Get-NcCifsSessionFile in variable I got often the XML error message.

Any suggestion to solve the error?

DataOntap 9.8.0

$OpenFilesNC = Get-NcCifsSessionFile -VserverContext $srv | Select Vserver,Share,ShareMode,OpenMode,Path,FileId

Error:
Get-NcCifsSessionFile : There is an error in XML document (1, 6000).

Hello @JRN1

Can you confirm if you are able to run the command outside of the variable without any issue?

Thanks

Hello @hmoubara ,

yes I can confirm.

I found a way today. If I run it for specific share it works without error.

Have to use "-Query" because no "-Share" is available.

$OpenFilesNC = Get-NcCifsSessionFile -Query @{ Share = $ShareName} |Select Vserver,Share,ShareMode,OpenMode,Path,FileId

Thanks

Hello

I was able to get your variable to work as is, but i have to use command: Invoke-expression to get it to work.

Per example:

Get-variable -Name test:

Get-NcCifsSessionFile -VserverContext svm1_cluster1 | Select vserver,share,sharemode,openmode,path,fileid

PS> Invoke-expression $test

Hi thanks for finding that out.

Both solutions looks to work.
