Execution URI input line was not set.

[MatthewN]

When I issue wfa cmdlets from the POWERSHELL cli or ISE I always get the error "Execution URI input line was not set." I know this was covered once but the solution that was given (re-install wfa 3.1) doesn't fix my issue, I tried. I want to be able to issue wfa cmdlets in the ISE or CLI so I can see the values that are being returned as well as do some testing.

I am using the latest dataontap powershell tool kit & I upgraded the data ontap modules in WFA using the instructions http://community.netapp.com/t5/OnCommand-Storage-Management-Software-Discussions/How-to-upgrade-or-modify-the-DataONTAP-Powershell-Toolkit-PSTK-in-WFA...

My profile looks like this:

Import-Module "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetApp\NetApp PowerShell Toolkit\Modules\DataONTAP"

Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\PoSH\profile.ps1' <--- I commented out the DataONTAP module

if ( !(Get-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) ) {
. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1'
}

Any suggestions other than re-install WFA would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

WFA cmdlets are in 3 different Modules:

1. WFA
2. WFAWrapper
3. WFAConfig

How to see them: Go to WFA->Help->Support Links -> WFA Powershell cmdlets help.

You can see the cmdlets for every WFA Module.

1. WFA: NO cmdlets from this module can be called outside of WFA. You'll always get the error as you have been getting. No restarting or reinstalling can fix it. Its not a bug, this is how its sipposed to work.

2. WFAWrapper : Some cmdlets can be called from outside. Others will throw same error.

3. WFAConfig : All cmdlets in this module can be called from Outside. Infact they should always be called from outside.
