Description

The Copy-SPBusinessDataCatalogAclToChildren cmdlet copies a set of rights of a Business Data Connectivity metadata object to its child objects.

Any principals and their rights will be lost from the child metadata objects. Make sure that the parent metadata object has the final permissions you want, or make sure to append them to the child object again after you run this cmdlet.

Running this cmdlet on a BdcObjectType BdcCatalog (Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store) will propagate to:

BDC Models
External Systems
External Content Types
Methods
Method Instances

Running this cmdlet on a BdcObjectType Model (Business Data Connectivity Model) will propagate to:

Nothing; this type has no child metadata objects

Running this cmdlet on a BdcObjectType LobSystem (External System) will propagate to:

External Content Types

Method Instances

Running this cmdlet on a BdcObjectType Entity (External Content Type) will propagate to:

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

$ExternalSystem = Get-SPBusinessDataCatalogMetadataObject -BdcObjectType "LobSystem" -ServiceContext https://contoso -Name "ContosoDatabase"

This example looks at the principals (users) and their corresponding rights given for the External System metadata object, and overwrites the permissions of its child metadata objects with these same principals and rights.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
