Issue:
The powerVault commandlet 'Get-VaultFileBom' is crashing on your machine or not behaving correctly and our product support asked you to export the BOM(Bill of Material) of the file.
Solution:
You can use the attached BomExtractor script to export the Vault BOM of the file that is causing issues and all its dependencies in a ZIP file. You can then submit the file to our support via email (support@coolorange.com) for further analysis.
Using the script:
To use this script powerVault must be installed.
- Insert the required information at the top of the script
- Execute the script.
- You will be asked to specify an output folder.
- Press the 'OK' button
The script will start to export the BOM files.
Currently the script does not show a progress indicator and exporting BOMs of big assemblies can take quite a while. Once it has collected all required files, it will save them to the output directory as a .ZIP file. The name of the file consists of the original vault file name and '-bomExtract.zip'
Remarks:
The tool uses the directory 'C:\BOMExtractor\' to store the extracted BOM files temporarily this folder should not be touched during operation, the tool will remove the directory after the export.
